Title: UART usage for debug
Post by: octal on August 02, 2010, 11:22:59 pm
Hello,
on the examples provided for webplatform I saw that everytime the UART is configured and that the example provide an implementation for UART1TX(), UART1RX(), ...

I would like to ask a question (maybe stupid one): Why not simply use the peripheral lib functions provided by Microchip for UART  like OpenUART1(...), putsUART1(...) ...

is there anything against using these functions ? (are these blocking functions ?)

I'm asking this as these functions are complete (fnc to print/read strings, char, ...) and I need such advanced dumping possibilities for debug (via the FT232 chip already on the webplatform board).

Regards

Hi octal - Yes, you can use the Microchip built-in functions. We use our own because we like to be closer to the hardware and work with everything at the register level.
