Macro for creating a UARTE driver instance.

Typedef Documentation

typedef void(* nrfx_uarte_event_handler_t)( nrfx_uarte_event_t const *p_event, void *p_context)

UARTE interrupt event handler.

Parameters
[in] p_event Pointer to event structure. Event is allocated on the stack so it is available only within the context of the event handler.
[in] p_context Context passed to interrupt handler, set on initialization.

Enumeration Type Documentation

Types of UARTE driver events.

Enumerator
NRFX_UARTE_EVT_TX_DONE

Requested TX transfer completed.

NRFX_UARTE_EVT_RX_DONE

Requested RX transfer completed.

NRFX_UARTE_EVT_ERROR

Error reported by UART peripheral.

Function Documentation

uint32_t nrfx_uarte_errorsrc_get ( nrfx_uarte_t const * p_instance )

Function for reading error source mask. Mask contains values from nrf_uarte_error_mask_t .

Note
Function should be used in blocking mode only. In case of non-blocking mode, an error event is generated. Function clears error sources after reading.
Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
Return values
Mask of reported errors.
__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t nrfx_uarte_event_address_get ( nrfx_uarte_t const * p_instance ,
nrf_uarte_event_t event
)

Function for getting the address of a specific UARTE event.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] event Event.
Returns
Event address.
nrfx_err_t nrfx_uarte_init ( nrfx_uarte_t const * p_instance ,
nrfx_uarte_config_t const * p_config ,
nrfx_uarte_event_handler_t event_handler
)

Function for initializing the UARTE driver.

This function configures and enables UARTE. After this function GPIO pins are controlled by UARTE.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] p_config Pointer to the structure with initial configuration.
[in] event_handler Event handler provided by the user. If not provided driver works in blocking mode.
Return values
NRFX_SUCCESS If initialization was successful.
NRFX_ERROR_INVALID_STATE If driver is already initialized.
NRFX_ERROR_BUSY If some other peripheral with the same instance ID is already in use. This is possible only if Peripheral Resource Sharing (PRS) module is enabled.
nrfx_err_t nrfx_uarte_rx ( nrfx_uarte_t const * p_instance ,
uint8_t * p_data ,
size_t length
)

Function for receiving data over UARTE.

If an event handler was provided in the nrfx_uarte_init() call, this function returns immediately and the handler is called when the transfer is done. Otherwise, the transfer is performed in blocking mode, i.e. this function returns when the transfer is finished. Blocking mode is not using interrupt so there is no context switching inside the function. The receive buffer pointer is double buffered in non-blocking mode. The secondary buffer can be set immediately after starting the transfer and will be filled when the primary buffer is full. The double buffering feature allows receiving data continuously.

Note
Peripherals using EasyDMA (including UARTE) require the transfer buffers to be placed in the Data RAM region. If this condition is not met, this function will fail with the error code NRFX_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR.
Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] p_data Pointer to data.
[in] length Number of bytes to receive. Maximum possible length is dependent on the used SoC (see the MAXCNT register description in the Product Specification). The driver checks it with assertion.
Return values
NRFX_SUCCESS If initialization was successful.
NRFX_ERROR_BUSY If the driver is already receiving (and the secondary buffer has already been set in non-blocking mode).
NRFX_ERROR_FORBIDDEN If the transfer was aborted from a different context (blocking mode only).
NRFX_ERROR_INTERNAL If UARTE peripheral reported an error.
NRFX_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR If p_data does not point to RAM buffer.
void nrfx_uarte_rx_abort ( nrfx_uarte_t const * p_instance )

Function for aborting any ongoing reception.

Note
NRFX_UARTE_EVT_RX_DONE event will be generated in non-blocking mode. It will contain number of bytes received until abort was called. The event handler will be called from UARTE interrupt context.
Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
bool nrfx_uarte_rx_ready ( nrfx_uarte_t const * p_instance )

Function for testing the receiver state in blocking mode.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
Return values
true If the receiver has at least one byte of data to get.
false If the receiver is empty.
__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t nrfx_uarte_task_address_get ( nrfx_uarte_t const * p_instance ,
nrf_uarte_task_t task
)

Function for getting the address of a specific UARTE task.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] task Task.
Returns
Task address.
nrfx_err_t nrfx_uarte_tx ( nrfx_uarte_t const * p_instance ,
uint8_t const * p_data ,
size_t length
)

Function for sending data over UARTE.

If an event handler was provided in nrfx_uarte_init() call, this function returns immediately and the handler is called when the transfer is done. Otherwise, the transfer is performed in blocking mode, i.e. this function returns when the transfer is finished. Blocking mode is not using interrupt so there is no context switching inside the function.

Note
Peripherals using EasyDMA (including UARTE) require the transfer buffers to be placed in the Data RAM region. If this condition is not met, this function will fail with the error code NRFX_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR.
Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] p_data Pointer to data.
[in] length Number of bytes to send. Maximum possible length is dependent on the used SoC (see the MAXCNT register description in the Product Specification). The driver checks it with assertion.
Return values
NRFX_SUCCESS If initialization was successful.
NRFX_ERROR_BUSY If driver is already transferring.
NRFX_ERROR_FORBIDDEN If the transfer was aborted from a different context (blocking mode only).
NRFX_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR If p_data does not point to RAM buffer.
void nrfx_uarte_tx_abort ( nrfx_uarte_t const * p_instance )

Function for aborting any ongoing transmission.

Note
NRFX_UARTE_EVT_TX_DONE event will be generated in non-blocking mode. It will contain number of bytes sent until abort was called. The event handler will be called from UARTE interrupt context.
Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
bool nrfx_uarte_tx_in_progress ( nrfx_uarte_t const * p_instance )

Function for checking if UARTE is currently transmitting.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
Return values
true If UARTE is transmitting.
false If UARTE is not transmitting.
void nrfx_uarte_uninit ( nrfx_uarte_t const * p_instance )

Function for uninitializing the UARTE driver.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
