/* ----------------- SENDING AND RECEIVING THROUGH THE SERIAL LINE -----------
the IC program must be stopped in order for this to work !
the code is from the handybaord FAQ by Fred Martin or ?? Randy Sargent ??
added by Xavier Chabot, 3-3-97: serial_getchar2()
receiving from the serial port:
disable_pcode_serial(): prevents the onboard pcode to catch the incoming
serial data
reenable_pcode_serial(void): reestablishes connection
serial_getchar(): returns a character send from the computer
sending to the serial port:
blocking: serial_getchar(): waits until a character is sent
the character is return as int
non blocking: serial_getchar2(&val) checks if there is a character to be
read. the character is written at the address val. returns 0 if there is
something, -1 if there is nothing
*/
/* --------------- READ from serial port ------------------- */
void disable_pcode_serial(void)
{
poke(0x3c,1);
}
void reenable_pcode_serial(void)
{
poke(0x3c,0);
}
/* blocking read */
int serial_getchar()
{
while(!(peek(0x102e) & 0x20)); /* wait UART */
return peek(0x102f);
}
/* test UART and get char but no wait */
int serial_getchar2(int *val)
{
if (peek(0x102e) & 0x20) /* UART ready? */
{
*val = peek(0x102f);
return 0;
}
return -1;
}
/* --------------------- WRITE to serial port --------------------------*/
/* writes a character to the serial port - blocks until free */
void serial_putchar(int c)
{
while (!(peek(0x102e) & 0x80) ); /* wait UART */
poke(0x102f, c);
}
