ATmega8(L)
The following code example shows a simple USART receive function that handles both 9-bit
characters and the status bits.
Assembly Code Example(1)
USART_Receive:
; Wait for data to be received
sbis UCSRA, RXC
rjmp USART_Receive
; Get status and ninth bit, then data from buffer
in
in
in
r18, UCSRA
r17, UCSRB
r16, UDR
; If error, return -1
andi r18,(1<<FE)|(1<<DOR)|(1<<PE)
breq USART_ReceiveNoError
ldi r17, HIGH(-1)
ldi r16, LOW(-1)
USART_ReceiveNoError:
; Filter the ninth bit, then return
lsr r17
andi r17, 0x01
ret
C Code Example(1)
unsigned int USART_Receive( void )
{
unsigned char status, resh, resl;
/* Wait for data to be received */
while ( !(UCSRA & (1<<RXC)) )
;
/* Get status and ninth bit, then data */
/* from buffer */
status = UCSRA;
resh = UCSRB;
resl = UDR;
/* If error, return -1 */
if ( status & (1<<FE)|(1<<DOR)|(1<<PE) )
return -1;
/* Filter the ninth bit, then return */
resh = (resh >> 1) & 0x01;
return ((resh << 8) | resl);
}
Note:
1. See “About Code Examples” on page 8.
The receive function example reads all the I/O Registers into the Register File before any com-
putation is done. This gives an optimal receive buffer utilization since the buffer location read will
be free to accept new data as early as possible.
