Receive text file from HyperTerminal via UART

Hello everybody,

I have to send a file from the computer (so from HyperTerminal) to the STM3240G eval via USART3 (or any UART).

I wrote a program to receive one data from USART (getchar() ) and it works fine but I don't understand how I can receive more than one data ...

I think I have to play with the flag RXNE with a reset after each reception but i'm not sure.

My getchar() program :

char USART_getc(USART_TypeDef* USARTx)

 

{

 

    while(!(USARTx->SR & USART_FLAG_RXNE));

 

    return ((int)USARTx->DR & 0xFF);

 

}

My program to receive a text file from HyperTerminal

void reception_donnee(USART_TypeDef* USARTx,tablo tableau)

 

{

 

    uint8_t i;

 

    char T='\0';

 

    while(!USART_GetFlagStatus(USART3,USART_FLAG_RXNE) && (T !='\n') && i<SIZE_BUFFER)

 

    {

 

        T= USART3->DR;

 

        tableau[i]= T;

 

        i++;

 

    }

 

}

For information the SIZE_BUFFER is a constant for tablo. Here tablo[600] tableau.

I hope you understand my problem. If not, I can answer to your questions.

Sorry for my english mistakes, I'm French 🙂

Thanks in advance.

void reception_donnee(USART_TypeDef* USARTx,tablo tableau)
{
uint8_t i;
char T='\0';
while((T !='
') && (i < (SIZE_BUFFER-1)))
{
while(!USART_GetFlagStatus(USART3,USART_FLAG_RXNE)); // Wait for each
T= USART3->DR;
tableau[i]= T;
i++;
}
tableau[i]= 0; // NUL terminate string, if you expect to use strxxx() functions
}
