UART Ring Buffer using Head and Tail in STM32 || STM32 CubeIDE

[@ozcanakcesme]

many many thankss !! You're doing great tutorials, please keep doing that. They are very useful.

Many thanks, this is a huge improvement over the basic HAL ISR. Working with Cube MX & STM32F4

For receiving UART RX data, would using a DMA with Circular and/or FIFO mode, be more or less efficient than an interrupt ? i.e. HAL_UART_Receive_DMA(&huart3, cRxMsg, 1); vs. HAL_NVIC_SetPriority(USART3_IRQn, 0, 0); HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ(USART3_IRQn); HAL_UART_Receive_IT(&huart3, cRxMsg, 1); void HAL_UART_RxCpltCallback(UART_HandleTypeDef *huart){ if (huart->Instance == USART3) In either case, how would you poll to determine the number of total bytes have been DMA'd if using "Circular"/FIFO mode? What would a circular (non-fifo) counter return? What's the FIFO size? I'm trying to poll and get the DMAd data using: receivedBytes = RX_MAX_SIZE - __HAL_DMA_GET_COUNTER(huart3.hdmarx); #define DMA_WRITE_PTR ( (CIRC_BUF_SZ - huart_cobs->hdmarx->Instance->CNDTR) & (CIRC_BUF_SZ - 1) ) bool is_empty(void) { return (rd_ptr == DMA_WRITE_PTR) ; } uint8_t buf_get(void) { uint8_t c = 0; if(rd_ptr != DMA_WRITE_PTR) { c = cRxMsg[rd_ptr++]; rd_ptr &= (CIRC_BUF_SZ - 1); } return c; }

[@MehmetAliTurhan]

Everything works perfectly however when I try to print position as you did in the video I got 1. Do you have any idea about why it's happening? When I send longer data then it consistently sends 1.

[@seyoungbaik8141]

Oh ! Thanks very much !! I went to your homepage and edited the updated code . Thank you very much. I ll keep analysis on your code. thx again

[@setevoi1]

Tell me, please. while (IsDataAvailable()) { int data = Uart_read(); W25qxx_WriteByte(data, byte); byte++ I want to write data to the W25qxx memory sent via uart, but this leads to data loss and the cycle stops. Where could there be a problem?

[@francisgremillet2698]

Great tuto as usual! Thank You so mch. If the sender loops over sending every 500ms a known length string, I would like to wait for a specific sequence of chars (not all are printable chars) contained in this 'telegram', how can I achieve please?

[@ControllersTech]

Use "wait_for" function to wait for some string. You can try using the hex values also ( i don't know if it will work tho)

[@canerboyraz9480]

hello, when I replaced huart2 with huart1 as below, UART_HandleTypeDef huart1; #define uart &huart1 it gives this error, UART_RingBuffer_Head_Tail\UART_RingBuffer_Head_Tail.axf: Error: L6200E: Symbol huart1 multiply defined (by uartringbuffer.o and main.o). if I make it huart2 again, the error disappears. The reason for the error seems so obvious but still I can't get over it..

[@ControllersTech]

Use this extern UART_HandleTypedef huart1;

[@canerboyraz9480]

@@ControllersTech hello again, thank you for your quick reply. while I was looking for a solution, I also came across your advice, and then I tried it as you mentioned, but this time, even if the error vanishes, I can't establish any communication. I send "1" as you do, but no answers back. I connect reset and gnd pins of arduino with itself, and for the other gnd pin of arduino, I share it with the st device of course and for the rx tx pins, I connect them as tx tx and rx rx.. with this setup, I just use the arduino as a ch340 only for this communication and it worked so far, for your previous uart videos as well, but now although I don't think the problem causes from there, I wanted to share with you if you notice any problem here... thanks in advance.

[@ControllersTech]

The connection should be Tx to Rx and Rx to Tx.

[@canerboyraz9480]

@@ControllersTech I tried multiple combinations include this one 😅 I may write wrong but I tried the connections vise versa as well because I forgot what it should be while overtrying :) I activated Uart1 pin of st on cubemx and so that even if it is meaningless, I tried pa2 pa3 and others, after pa9 pa10.. I don't think the problem is related to connections sir

If you are new to this, first try using the simple uart.

[@quantrieu4157]

can i ask? How to receive string but don't character?

[@ControllersTech]

just send the entire string.. it will receive it

[@devjeetmandal1472]

What if my serial buffer contains the same string twice? Will "wait_for()" function work? I tried this function with the gsm module and I tried to send a correct command and a wrong command just to check if "wait_for()" works when the same string is already present in the buffer. Is there any way to clear the buffer? As it is a ring buffer a normal clear like putting '\0' in every position will make everything go but what about head and tail? Do I need to make head = tail = 0? I am pretty confused about this stuff. Any suggestion will be helpful.

[@ControllersTech]

Yes wait_for will give the position of the second string and not the first one. So you have to be careful. Actually what you can do is, instead of checking only for that particular string, you can check for neighboring characters also, so that you can look for different characters. Yeah you can clear buffer by putting '\0'. Although there is no need to clear the rx_buffer i guess.

[@123arya]

Hello @ControllersTech, thanks for great tutorials. I am trying to implement your code. As explained in the tutorial video, Wait_for() function is not returing position, it is just returing 1 if string is present else -1. Is there any other function which returns postion as explained in the tutorial video?

[@ControllersTech]

The code has been updated a lot after the video was made. The functions usage is explained in the source file itself.

[@robertbeekhuijzen5205]

Great Tutorial! Can you please show how to do this using FreeRTOS and using a Task to process the data? I have tried myself, but I cannot get it to work.

In uart ring buffer ringbufferinit uartsendstring and write function is not working properly. Initially it is working but after my code has become large it stopped working. debugger has stopped in the loop. can anyone has any idea what is going on?

Hello. I have a problem with this code and in general getting a string with interrupts. When I use the normal polling receive everything is fine, but when I use interrupt receive I get unknown characters instead of my string (

[@asifganbayev544]

@@ControllersTech thanks a lot. This is a way and i will use this method in my project. But i still interested in this problem, im using f401 series controller, standart implementation with interrupt and callback when receiving completed is work. But this is not. Im sorry for so many questions, at the begining i tried with callback, but received data is short and with different length. This callback not worked until buffer will be filled. How could i pass this stage?

[@ControllersTech]

For unknown length of received data, the ring buffer was made. But since it uses a lot of register level stuff, with a lot of varieties of mcu the registers also change. This is why i made thet idle line video. It will work for unknown length

can u elaborate??

[@CristiNeagu]

@@sumedhburbure4173 He commented out line 212 in order for it to not be executed. But as he points out, when the code is generated again, line 212 will be uncommented by the code generator. But if you put a return in line 210, it will exit the function before executing line 212, achieving the same result as if you commented that line out, but it would also not get erased every time you generate the code because it is inside a user code block.

[@ishitmehta3057]

It's totally not working for me. I have followed the code absolutely, and am using an F103RBT6 MCU. If I send any data I don't get any output. Really need some help. I don't really know C and am absolutely new to the MCU environment, as I am only using this for a one off project. I think the problem lies in my board setup, but am not sure.

[@ControllersTech]

Well if you are new to mcu, then first do some basic projects before trying complicated things like this one. It's not some arduino or raspberry pi thingy that you just load some code and things will start working. You have to do things on your own. The video is a guide, It's not some guaranteed working library. You should first blink some led, try interrupt, tru uart, then come to this..
