I want to initialize and use UART on my LM4F120 Stellaris Launchpad in ASM. I found a reference code on how to to this on this site.

This works fine, however it initializes and uses UART0 (which is emulated over USB). I need to employ UART using the PIN headers. Thus, I want to use UART1 over PC0 (Rx) / PC1(Tx) following the convention in table 2-3 form this manual:

Basically, I changed the constant values to:

NVIC_EN0_R         EQU 0xE000E100   ; IRQ 0 to 31 Set Enable Register

However, I can not receive any characters on the virtual com port. Do you see any mistakes in the code?

  • Have you meassured the lines instead of just seing if you can "receive characters"? – chwi Nov 26 '13 at 19:31
  • Why assembly? Also you are mentioning UART over USB. Do you have some kind of USB CDC routines in your embedded code? – Matt Kucia Nov 27 '13 at 08:59
  • I did not measure the lines because of lack of decent hardware. ASM because this code will run before main() is called. USB CDC routines? Well UART over USB works fine (UART0). However, I want to use the onboard PIN headers (UART1/2). – Richard Laurant Nov 28 '13 at 10:13
