Hello,

does anyone know how I can query the Rx status if a character is ready to be fetched?

And how do I fetch a single character.

Both functions must not block the process.

The code is from the Z80 emulator.

Smartpinn is easier with single characters.

  • Hello,

    I would like to ask again if there is a way to determine whether a new character was received or their number.

    CP/M often asks the status and I don't want to block the whole system.

    Thank you.

    I would think that the RX_STATUS code below that is near the end of the code you posted would do that. Not 100% sure of that since the code it calls is not listed here.

  • No, the routine is only a guess, as _hubRxStat is not defined in the constants.

    Sorry i am away and on my iphone.

    I created a thread about using the P2 ROM Serial routines. IIRC there is a routine that does a rxline that places any received chars into a buffer.

    Yesterday I wrote something for my RPi Zero based contraption. A P2 uses a serial port to receive messages from it via a serial port. This is done without any ROM procedures, instead I read the pin status to determine if the serial port received a byte. Then I put this byte into a circular buffer. Without this buffer there were missed bytes as they can arrive faster than the main program process them.

    Maybe something from this code can help. It opens 2 serial ports, one for a RPi (keyboard/mouse interface), one for MIDI and then receicves and processes this data.

  • Pic33, that looks good.
    I just have to see how I do it with PASM.

    I will leave the (lmm) part in for debugging.

    I will use a new interface for the console in/out of the CP/M bios.

  • pik33pik33 Posts: 2,388

    I added today the standard serial pin p63 as 4th input source to the code (and removed a bug) - I wanted to do this in PASM first, but the spin is fast enough. Maybe this code will be rewritten in Pasm as I want more input sources to receive data (I want to connect analog and digital joystick to the P2)

    I pulled out the important part and this is what comes out:

          tx(stxpin,srr)
    
    PRI serial_start(rxpin, txpin, baud) | bitmode
      bitmode := muldiv64(clkfreq, $1_0000, baud) & $FFFFFC00 '' set bit timing
      bitmode |= 7                                            '' set bits (8)

      wypin(pin, b)
      repeat
      while (pinr(pin) == 0)
    

    Now I still have to test it and convert it into PASM.

    I hope I have the TX status query right.
    I don't have a P2 at hand, so it's all theory.

    Remember to enable output for TX (the or P_OE bit in spin, there is a particular bit# to set)

    The input pin (RX) is normally floating. If the signal source is on the same board, it is OK, but if there is a long cable between the source and P2, trash happens. This is why there is this P_HIGH_15K and pinhigh in my code. This enables 15k pullup which magically removed these interferences.

  • pic33,
    i have adjusted the code in #10 a little.

    Thanks

  • Sending and receiving works.

    I want to check whether the smart pin has sent the old byte before sending.
    But that doesn't work somehow.
    I don't want to wait after each byte until the byte has been sent.
