}I have had problems implementing UART on the MSP430 before but I must be living right because it pretty much worked first time. The primary addition is the function initUART(). dAISy can operate at 4800, 9600, 38400 baud - set at 38400 baud here. The parameters for 38400 baud are taken from table 21-5 in the User Family Guide.
The TX pin on the microcontroller is jumpered to the RX pin. In main() there is a for loop that increments the variable TXData from 0 to 255 over and over again. TXData is sent over UART to the RX pin on the microcontroller and tested in the ISR that captures received characters. If the received character is not the same as the transmitted character then a LED is lit and execution is trapped.
This is the first test to see if things are working as expected. If the jumper is removed, the LED should light up. Since the microcontroller is using the same clock for TX and RX this may not seem a particularly rigorous test given that UART is asynchronous. The clock has been tested though and is reasonably accurate and provided the other devices it is communicating with are reasonably accurate it should be OK. The expected accuracy from the data sheet has been noted in the comments.
The second test is to set a breakpoint in debug at line 140 (where RXData is tested against TXData in the ISR). The two variables can then be examined as the program steps through as shown below.
The variables are seen to be equivalent in the upper right hand window with the Expressions tab open. Test passed.
The memory usage should also be noted in the Console at lower left. FRAM usage is 1278 bytes and RAM is 290 bytes. Remember that there is a bit less than 4 k of FRAM available and that approximately 2 k is desired for the AIS message ring buffer. I am still hopeful it will fit comfortably. If not, there is Plan B which could mean using a different member of the MSP430FRxx family for the microcontroller.
For a final test the logic analyzer was hauled out again to check if it is seeing the character sequence that is expected.
Third test passed.
The next post should be a bit more interesting. The dAISy receiver will be connected to the prototype and a test devised to assure that AIS sentences are received correctly.
