app_uart_get more than 1 byte

[Caner Celiktas]

Hi,

I'm using app_uart for communication between different mcu. I can send more than 1 byte like "0x3917015623"  through  changing tx_buffer[0] to tx_buffer[5]. Unfortunately i couldn't recieve the slave devicess message "0x2917013607". I can only get the first byte "0x07". My configuration are the same as uart example. How can i recieve all the message ?. I tried to use serial library but i couldn't initialize. (It gave ERROR 6 NRF_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED).

Slave device is sending me a message every second. And i'm calling app_uart_get function every 500 miliseconds.

Here is my uart init;

void uart_error_handle(app_uart_evt_t * p_event)
{
    if (p_event->evt_type == APP_UART_COMMUNICATION_ERROR)
    {
        APP_ERROR_HANDLER(p_event->data.error_communication);
    }
    else if (p_event->evt_type == APP_UART_FIFO_ERROR)
    {
        APP_ERROR_HANDLER(p_event->data.error_code);
    }    
}

void uart_init(void)
{
    uint32_t err_code;
    const app_uart_comm_params_t comm_params =
        {
            RX_PIN_NUMBER,
            TX_PIN_NUMBER,
            RTS_PIN_NUMBER,
            CTS_PIN_NUMBER,
            UART_HWFC,
            false,
  #if defined (UART_PRESENT)
            NRF_UART_BAUDRATE_115200
  #else
            NRF_UARTE_BAUDRATE_9600
  #endif
        };
//    const app_uart_buffers_t m_buffers =
//      {
//        &rx_buffer_s,
//        sizeof(rx_buffer_s),
//        &tx_buffer_s,
//        sizeof(tx_buffer_s)
//      }
      APP_UART_FIFO_INIT(&comm_params,
                           UART_RX_BUF_SIZE,
                           UART_TX_BUF_SIZE,
                           uart_error_handle,
                           APP_IRQ_PRIORITY_LOWEST,
                           err_code);

      APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
//      err_code = app_uart_init(&comm_params, &m_buffers, uart_error_handle, APP_IRQ_PRIORITY_LOW);
//      APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
  
}

I tried to use serial library but i couldn't initialize. (It gave ERROR 6 NRF_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED).

 Which function returned NRF_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED?

[Caner Celiktas]

nrf_serial_init function was returning NRF_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. I fixed that error yesterday. I did a lot of things. I couldn't remember exactly but i remember that i changed some code in nrf_serial.c . Now, i can send 5 byte data on TX_PIN  but i received wrong data from slave. Also i am using MAX485 IC for communication. I need to set RTS_PIN before sending operation and clear it before receive operation. But nrf_gpio_pin_set or nrf_gpio_pin_clear command doesn't effect the RTS_PIN. When i deactive UART module then these command are starting to work. When UART module enabled, RTS_PIN goes high at wrong time and out of my control. Time between sending operation and RTS_PIN high is about 95 ms. It should be at the same time. So how can i control RTS pin while UART Module enabled.(I can control other gpio when uart enabled.)

here is my serial init code:

NRF_SERIAL_DRV_UART_CONFIG_DEF(m_uart0_drv_config,
                      RX_PIN_NUMBER, TX_PIN_NUMBER,
                      RTS_PIN_NUMBER, CTS_PIN_NUMBER,
                      NRF_UART_HWFC_ENABLED, NRF_UART_PARITY_EXCLUDED,
                      NRF_UART_BAUDRATE_9600,
                      UART_DEFAULT_CONFIG_IRQ_PRIORITY);

#define SERIAL_FIFO_TX_SIZE 32
#define SERIAL_FIFO_RX_SIZE 32

NRF_SERIAL_QUEUES_DEF(serial_queues, SERIAL_FIFO_TX_SIZE, SERIAL_FIFO_RX_SIZE);

#define SERIAL_BUFF_TX_SIZE 5
#define SERIAL_BUFF_RX_SIZE 5

NRF_SERIAL_BUFFERS_DEF(serial_buffs, SERIAL_BUFF_TX_SIZE, SERIAL_BUFF_RX_SIZE);

NRF_SERIAL_CONFIG_DEF(serial_config, NRF_SERIAL_MODE_IRQ,
                      &serial_queues, &serial_buffs, NULL, NULL);


NRF_SERIAL_UART_DEF(serial_uart, 0);

    ret_code_t ret;
//    ret = nrf_drv_clock_init();
//    APP_ERROR_CHECK(ret);
//    ret = nrf_drv_power_init(NULL);
//    APP_ERROR_CHECK(ret);

    nrf_drv_clock_lfclk_request(NULL);
    ret = app_timer_init();
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(ret);
    
    ret = nrf_serial_init(&serial_uart, &m_uart0_drv_config, &serial_config);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(ret);

Which nRF52 IC are you using?

 You have enabled HWFC so this should be managed automatically by the UART/UARTE peripheral. Note that CTS (Clear To Send) and  RTS (Request To Send) are both active low.

I am using nrf52810. I disabled HWFC and now i can send and recieve the message. But i got some mistakes on receiving part. The message i should take is "0xAAAA011729"

Message is 5 bytes, "AAAA" is changing always.

What i received :

<info> app: Received data : 1172978

<info> app: Received data : 17297748

<info> app: Received data : 29764901

<info> app: Received data : 754A0117

<info> app: Received data : 4B011729

<info> app: Received data : 1172974

<info> app: Received data : 1729734C

<info> app: Received data : 17724D01

The message is true but not in same order. I am using uint32_t variable for recieve operation. I used uint64_t but nothing changed it still got wrong order. I think i must clear rx_buffer after receiving.

Do you have the possibility to capture the data on the UART lines using a logic analyzer? That would help us identify if the data is sent correctly on the data lines but received incorrectly by the nRF52810.
