MOD54415 Example Serial2Serial Problems

[sam512bb]

Good day,

I recently purchased one of the MOD54415 dev kits and when I create a project and use the MOD54415 Serial2Serial example code, the output serial stream is not the correct baud rate (I get framing errors): My guess is that the Netburner library where the OpenSerial Function is located does not take into the MOD54415's clock rate and so the routine's passed baud rate parameter is incorrect.

Has anyone else experienced this and/or is there a way to set the clock rate, etc of the Serial port routines?

BTW... I am using the latest (I believe so anyway) dev kit files, as I downloaded them on July 4, 2012.

Cheers,

Sam

What baud rate are you trying to hit?

I've used the NAN54415 to interface to a whole bunch of serial devices with no issues.
(The serial driver in the MOD5441X is the same)

Good day pbreed,

I was trying 19200.

However, I did a bit more playing around and this is what I found...

1. This issue appears to only affect Port 0 and not Port 1 or 2.
2. This issue corrects itself once I send repeated "WriteString" functions. For example, the first Writestring results in a non-standard output baud rate... subsequent "writestring" calls seems to correct the issue...I did not check how many times, but I could if anyone is interested.

Consequently, this is not a big deal, as I can work around this issue and so I am still good to go for my development.

Cheers,

Sam

I think the problem is the buffer doesn't flush. I put a std::cout<< std::endl; prior to the SerialClose() statements and the output cleaned up. Alternately adding an OSTimeDly(5) worked well.
