Hey Stephen, That is a great question. Let me make sure I understand what you are trying to do by integers you mean binary representation of 16bit integersLesson 9 UART Simply Embedded. An embedded system often requires a means for communicating with the external world for a number of possible reasons. It could be to transferring data to another device, sending and receiving commands, or simply for debugging purposes. One of the most common interfaces used in embedded systems is the universal asynchronous receivertransmitter UART. When a board arrives in the hands of the softwarefirmware team, the first step is typically to get the debug console functional. The debug console is a serial interface which historically is implemented as RS 2. PC serial port. These days most PCs not longer have a serial port, so it is more commonly seen implemented using USB, however the concept is the same. In this lesson, we will learn a bit about the theory behind UART and RS 2. UART driver for the MSP4. LED during runtime. It is important to distinguish the difference between the terms UART and RS 2. The UART is the peripheral on the microcontroller which can send and receive serial data asynchronously, while RS 2. RS 2. 32 has no dependency on any higher level protocol, however it does have a simple layer 1 physical layer set of standards which must be followed. The UART module may support several features which allow it to interface with various signaling standard such as RS 2.

The minimum connection required for bidirectional communication is three signals transmit TX, receive RX, and ground. The separate RX and TX lines mean that data can flow in both directions at the same time. This is called full duplex and it is the standard means for communicating over serial. However, depending on the higher level protocols, there may be a need to block the transmitter while receiving. This is called half duplex. Hardware flow control can also be enabled in order to mitigate the flow of data. LOMBA-IARC.jpg' alt='Tera Term Serial Macro Example In C' title='Tera Term Serial Macro Example In C' />Two optional lines RTS and CTS are provided for this function. Typically RS 2. 32 is used without hardware flow control and at full duplex. We are not going to go into details on all the possible configurations, however you can read about it here if you are interested. RS 2. 32 signals are different than than what we are used to in the digital world because the voltage switches between negative and positive values. The standard defines signals which typically vary from 5. V to 5. V, but can as much as 1. V to 1. 5V. The idle state of the line is at the negative voltage level and is referred to as a mark. The logical value of a mark is one 1. The positive voltage is called a space, and indicates a logic zero 0. To begin a transmission of data, a start bit space is sent to the receiver.

It emulates different types of computer. Find the appropriate download such as firmware, drivers, and software utilities for your product. Then the data is transmitted. The data can be in several possible formats depending what is supported by both devices. To end a transmission, a stop bit mark is sent to the receiver, and the held in the idle state. At least one stop bit is required, but two stop bits are often supported as well. When hooking up RS 2. MCU it is important to remember that the voltage levels supported by the IO are different 0. V 3. 3. V, so an external transceiver is required to convert the signals to the appropriate levels. If you try to connect RS 2. MSP4. 30 or most other microcontrollers it will not work and likely cause some damage. The MAX2. 32 and variants are some of of the most common RS 2. It is extremely simple to use and can be easily breadboarded. Here is an example of one I have built Fortunately, the MSP4. Launchpad has a serial to USB converter built right onto the the board so this additional equipment is not required. Therefore, we wont cover how to build it in this tutorial, but if you would like to know more feel free to shoot me an email. We will look in more detail at the MSP4. Universal asynchronous receivertransmitter UARTUART peripherals typically have several configurable parameters required to support different standards. There are five parameters which must be configured correctly to establish a basic serial connection Baud rate Baud rate is the number of symbols or modulations per second. Basically, the baud rate indicates how many times the lines can change state high or low per second. Since each symbol represents one bit, the bit rate equals the baud rate. For example, if the baud rate is 9. Number of data bits The number of data bits transmitted is typically between 5 and 8, with 7 and 8 being the most common since an ASCII character is 7 bits for the standard set and 8 bits for the extended. Parity The parity can be even, odd, mark or space. The UART peripheral calculates the number of 1s present in the transmission. If the parity is configured to even and the number of 1s is even then the parity bit is set zero. If the number of 1s is odd, the parity bit is set to a 1 to make the count even. If the parity is configured to odd, and the number of 1s is odd, then parity bit is set to 0. Otherwise it is set to 1 to make the count odd. Mark and space parity mean that the parity bit will either be one or zero respectively for every transmission. Stop bits The number of stop bits is most commonly configurable to either one or two. On some devices, half bits are supported as well, for example 1. The number of stop bits determines how much of a break is required between concurrent transmissions. Endianess Some UART peripherals offer the option to send the data in either LSB least significant bit or MSB most significant bit. Serial communication of ASCII characters is almost always LSB. All of these parameters must be set to the same configuration on both devices for successful communication. The following image is an example of a UART transmission. Image courtesy of one of our very active members, Yury. Thanks Here we have a 5 bit transmission with an odd parity. Since there are an odd number of 1s in the transmission, the parity bit is 0. The data bit closest to the start bit is the LSB. The number of stop bits is not defined since we only see one transmission. However if there was 1 stop bit and we were running at 9. O1.  Other common configuration include 9. E1 9. 60. 0 baud, 7 bits data, even parity and 1 stop bit. N1 9. 60. 0 baud, 8 bits data, no parity and 1 stop bit. N1 1. 15. 20. 0 baud, 8 bits data, no parity  and 1 stop bit. The MSP4. 30 UARTThe MSP4. USCI universal serial communications interface which supports multiple types of serial interfaces. There are two variants of the USCI module each of which support specific interfaces USCIA UART and SPIUSCIB SPI and I2. CA given device may have none, one or more of each of these modules, depending on its implementation. It is important to check in the datasheet to see exactly what is supported in the device being used. Since USCIA actually supports multiple standards, there are many registers and settings. We will only concentrate on those relative to this lesson. The register map for the USCIA module is as follows TI MSP4. Family Reference Manual SLAU1. JThe first register, UCAx.

Many different projects in metagenomicsand epidemiological research in recent years have delivered new knowledge onassociations between the microbiome and a wide range of diseases. Internationalinitiatives such as the International Human Microbiome Consortium IHMC havegenerated large scale data. These research efforts were first of all made toidentify host microbe interactions and links of the microbiome with diseases. Now the challenge is to accelerate the translation of data and knowledge todefine balanced healthy conditions and to predict and prevent diseases throughthe development of personalised approaches and clinical tools. Building onexisting data it is necessary to produce also new data with the aim to make theresearch more comprehensive or more holistic and to achieve more valuableclinical tools. Whilst the promise of such tools is evident, they need to bevalidated and be part of personalised medicine. This topic will focus on the clinicalaspects of personalised prediction and prevention of disease. Other aspects ofmicrobiome research in relation to foodnutrition will be addressed by acluster of topics in Societal Challenge 2. Further topics may be launched underthe IMI2 JU. Scope The aim is to achieve understandingof balanced states of health and on that basis to deliver personalisedapproaches and clinical tools for predicting and preventing diseases. Proposalsshould integrate and use high quality microbiome, metabolome and other omicsdata produced by large scale international initiatives. They should combine andexpand these data with approaches including disease oriented functionalanalysis, endogenous and exogenous factors, innovative imaging, functional,structural and lifestyle, ageing, dietary data, environmental data, mentaldisorders andor any other comorbidity. Proposals should build on data fromexisting microbiome projects and, as appropriate, on data from otherinternational initiatives. Focussed production of new data should make subjectcoverage more comprehensive with the aim of delivering more valuable clinicaltools. Proposals should address relevant ethical implications, take intoaccount sex and gender differences, the effect of country specific issues andshould include a section on research data management. The proposed work shouldbe connected to the future European Open Science Cloud1 to enablesharing and re use of resources as well as interoperability with other types ofdata and tools across disciplines. Proposals should contribute tostandardisation of sample collection and storage, methods Standard Operating. Procedures and study designs. SMEs participation is encouraged. Proposals addressing rare diseases are notin scope of this action. The Commission considers that proposalsrequesting a contribution from the EU of between EUR 1. Nonetheless, thisdoes not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting otheramounts. Expected Impact Personalised medicine approaches for theprediction and prevention of diseases through exploitation, integration andcombination of data from existing microbiome projects and appropriate otherinternational omics studies. More valuable clinical tools built onexisting data and new complementary data in relevant repositories. Identification and validation of microbialfunctionalities robust healthy conditions and determinants of resilience fordefined populations at specific body sites. Better prediction and prevention ofdiseases through validated novel clinical tools that are helpful for end users. More intensive collaboration and strategicsynergies between scientists across disciplines and sectors. Type of Action Research and Innovationaction1      Inparticular, microbiome data sharing is relevant for the future Health Researchand Innovation Cloud, which will be a thematic component of the European Open. Science Cloud https ec. Specific Challenge Despite the advances onbiomedical research most of the estimated 6. Small and dispersed patient populations,fragmented expertise and research resources make rare diseases a prime area for. EU level collaboration. Substantial funding from the EU Framework Programmesfor Research and Innovation has had an integrating effect in the field, andthree consecutive ERA NETs have built the base for close research collaborationbetween Member States. European Reference Networks ERNs1 establishedunder the Directive on Patients Rights in Cross Border Healthcare will bring amajor structuring effect on research and care by linking thematic expertcentres across the EU. There is a need to more efficiently bringthe results of rare diseases research and innovation to patients in terms ofnew and optimised treatment options, diagnostic tools and integrated care,making sure that patients maximally benefit from the research and investmentsdone at the EU and Member States levels. Scope The overall objective is toimplement a European Joint Programme EJP Cofund for Rare Diseases which wouldcreate a research and innovation pipeline from bench to bedsideensuring rapid translation of research results into clinical applications anduptake in healthcare for the benefit of patients. The initiative should followthe policies and contribute to the objectives of the International Rare. Diseases Research Consortium IRDi. RC. The specific objectives of the EJP Cofundare to improve integration, efficacy, production and social impact of researchon rare diseases through the development, demonstration and promotion ofsharing of research and clinical data, materials, processes, knowledge and know how,and to implement and further develop an efficient model of financial supportfor research on rare diseases including basic, clinical, epidemiological,social, economic, and health service research. Reaching these objectivesrequires support of a wide range of activities and participants which cannot beachieved with an ERANET Cofund. The EJP Cofund should be implementedthrough a joint programme of activities ranging from research to coordinationand networking activities, including training, demonstration and disseminationactivities, to be structured along the four main components  Research and innovation programme to befunded through transnational calls for proposals resulting in financial supportto third parties, based on the annual work plans of the EJP Cofund Development of a virtual platform for rarediseases information, research data, data based on samples, tools and standardsto support and accelerate rare diseases research Capacity building to improve the researchand innovation potential of key stakeholders and enhance uptake of researchresults Strategic coordination and management.
