Hi,

I am new to use STM8L controller.I am just trying to put Simple character on UART using STM8L discovery board.But I am failed to do this.Following is my code for this.void main(void){        u8 Data = 'N';        CLK_DeInit();    GPIO_DeInit(GPIOC);         CLK_HSICmd(ENABLE);    CLK_SYSCLKSourceConfig(CLK_RTCCLKSource_HSI);    CLK_SYSCLKDivConfig(CLK_SYSCLKDiv_1);            GPIO_ExternalPullUpConfig(GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_3, ENABLE);    GPIO_ExternalPullUpConfig(GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_2, ENABLE);        USART_DeInit(USART1);    CLK_PeripheralClockConfig(CLK_Peripheral_USART1, ENABLE);    USART_Init(USART1, 9600, USART_WordLength_8b, USART_StopBits_1, USART_Parity_No, USART_Mode_Tx | USART_Mode_Rx);    USART_ClockInit(USART1, USART_Clock_Disable, USART_CPOL_Low, USART_CPHA_1Edge, USART_LastBit_Disable);    USART_Cmd(USART1, ENABLE);                while(USART_GetFlagStatus(USART1, USART_FLAG_TXE) == RESET)             // Wait for transmition to complete    {    }        USART_SendData8(USART1, Data);                 GPIO_Init(GPIOC, GPIO_Pin_7, GPIO_Mode_Out_PP_High_Fast);                   // Init Blue LED//    GPIO_Init(GPIOE, GPIO_Pin_7, GPIO_Mode_Out_PP_High_Fast);                   // Init Green LED        /* Infinite loop */    while (1)    {  // Wait for transmition to complete        {        }            USART_SendData8(USART1, Data);        GPIO_SetBits(GPIOC, GPIO_Pin_7);        delay_ms(1000);                GPIO_ResetBits(GPIOC, GPIO_Pin_7);        delay_ms(1000);            }}I am using IAR workbetch for STM8 evolution version.

There is a tutorial for using the UART on the STM8L-Discovery at

http://colecovision.eu/stm8/STM8L-DISCOVERY%20Serial.shtml it uses SDCC, but that shouldn't be a problem, since IAR and SDCC are the two most standard-compliant compielrs for the STM8, so porting between them is easy. Philipp P.S.: It seems in your code, you are trying to use the library provided by STM. I also tried to use that one a two years ago, but there was a bug in UART handling in there. Don't knwo if its fixed by now. The tutorial linked above does not use the library provided by STM.

It is working..

Thanks..

Hello Krause,

I am using STM8L051 with STVD Cosmic compiler + Std peripheral lib and have been successful at transmitting characters but I am having problem in receiving, both in Interrupt & polling modes. Can you plz state what is the library bug you were referring to? I am using version

V1.6.1 / 30-September-2014

of the library. I can see a change in the release notes for V1.6.0 / 28-June-2013 as:

stm8l15x_usart.c/.h Update ''USART_ClearITPendingBit()'' function and parameter list. I dont know if the bug is corrected by that. Anyway my polling code is as follows:

void main(void) 

 { GPIO_Init(GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_All ,GPIO_Mode_Out_PP_Low_Slow);
GPIO_Init(GPIOB, GPIO_Pin_All, GPIO_Mode_Out_PP_Low_Slow);

//GPIO_Init(GPIOC, GPIO_Pin_All, GPIO_Mode_Out_PP_Low_Fast); //UART Pins: PC5, PC6
GPIO_Init(GPIOD, GPIO_Pin_0, GPIO_Mode_Out_PP_Low_Slow);
//EXTI_SetPinSensitivity(EXTI_Pin_1, EXTI_Trigger_Falling); //Push Button
CLK_PeripheralClockConfig(CLK_Peripheral_USART1, ENABLE);
GPIO_ExternalPullUpConfig(GPIOC, GPIO_Pin_5|GPIO_Pin_6, ENABLE); 
//Pullups on PC5, PC6
USART_Init(USART1, 115200, USART_WordLength_8b, USART_StopBits_1, USART_Parity_No, (USART_Mode_Rx|USART_Mode_Tx));
USART_ITConfig(USART1, USART_IT_RXNE, ENABLE);
USART_Cmd(USART1, ENABLE);
enableInterrupts();
printf(
''UART Tx OK!

''
); 
//working
/**/
while
(1)
{ 
while
(USART_GetFlagStatus(USART1,USART_FLAG_RXNE) == RESET); 
//wait till Rxd ... HANGS HERE

temp8 = USART_ReceiveData8(USART1);
USART_ClearFlag(USART1, USART_FLAG_RXNE);
USART_SendData8(USART1, temp8);
while
(USART_GetFlagStatus(USART1,USART_FLAG_TXE)==RESET); 
//wait till Txd
delay_ms(100);
}
while
(1) 
//working
{ printf(
''Count: %d 

''
, temp++);
delay_ms(1000);
}
}
//main() ends
char
putchar(
char
c) 
//implementation for printf
{
USART_SendData8(USART1, c);
while
(USART_GetFlagStatus(USART1,USART_FLAG_TXE)==RESET); 
//wait till Txd
}

When using Interrupts, the interrupt never comes. I am able to view waveforms on Rx pin of STM8, so I know data is going to it. What am I doing wrong?
