Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)

Overview

A Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) is a hardware feature that handles communication (i.e., timing requirements and data framing) using widely-adopted asynchronous serial communication interfaces, such as RS232, RS422, RS485. A UART provides a widely adopted and cheap method to realize full-duplex or half-duplex data exchange among different devices.

The ESP32 chip has three UART controllers (UART0, UART1, and UART2), each featuring an identical set of registers to simplify programming and for more flexibility.

Each UART controller is independently configurable with parameters such as baud rate, data bit length, bit ordering, number of stop bits, parity bit etc. All the controllers are compatible with UART-enabled devices from various manufacturers and can also support Infrared Data Association protocols (IrDA).

Functional Overview

The following overview describes how to establish communication between an ESP32 and other UART devices using the functions and data types of the UART driver. The overview reflects a typical programming workflow and is broken down into the sections provided below:

Setting Communication Parameters - Setting baud rate, data bits, stop bits, etc.
Setting Communication Pins - Assigning pins for connection to a device.
Driver Installation - Allocating ESP32’s resources for the UART driver.
Running UART Communication - Sending / receiving data
Using Interrupts - Triggering interrupts on specific communication events
Deleting a Driver - Freeing allocated resources if a UART communication is no longer required

Steps 1 to 3 comprise the configuration stage. Step 4 is where the UART starts operating. Steps 5 and 6 are optional.

The UART driver’s functions identify each of the UART controllers using uart_port_t. This identification is needed for all the following function calls.

Setting Communication Parameters

UART communication parameters can be configured all in a single step or individually in multiple steps.

Single Step

Call the function uart_param_config() and pass to it a uart_config_t structure. The uart_config_t structure should contain all the required parameters. See the example below.

const uart_port_t uart_num = UART_NUM_2;
uart_config_t uart_config = {
    .baud_rate = 115200,
    .data_bits = UART_DATA_8_BITS,
    .parity = UART_PARITY_DISABLE,
    .stop_bits = UART_STOP_BITS_1,
    .flow_ctrl = UART_HW_FLOWCTRL_CTS_RTS,
    .rx_flow_ctrl_thresh = 122,
};
// Configure UART parameters
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(uart_param_config(uart_num, &uart_config));

For more information on how to configure the hardware flow control options, please refer to peripherals/uart/uart_echo.

Multiple Steps

Configure specific parameters individually by calling a dedicated function from the table given below. These functions are also useful if re-configuring a single parameter.

Functions for Configuring specific parameters individually
Parameter to Configure	Function
Baud rate	`uart_set_baudrate()`
Number of transmitted bits	`uart_set_word_length()` selected out of `uart_word_length_t`
Parity control	`uart_set_parity()` selected out of `uart_parity_t`
Number of stop bits	`uart_set_stop_bits()` selected out of `uart_stop_bits_t`
Hardware flow control mode	`uart_set_hw_flow_ctrl()` selected out of `uart_hw_flowcontrol_t`
Communication mode	`uart_set_mode()` selected out of `uart_mode_t`

Each of the above functions has a _get_ counterpart to check the currently set value. For example, to check the current baud rate value, call uart_get_baudrate().

Setting Communication Pins

After setting communication parameters, configure the physical GPIO pins to which the other UART device will be connected. For this, call the function uart_set_pin() and specify the GPIO pin numbers to which the driver should route the Tx, Rx, RTS, and CTS signals. If you want to keep a currently allocated pin number for a specific signal, pass the macro UART_PIN_NO_CHANGE.

The same macro should be specified for pins that will not be used.

// Set UART pins(TX: IO4, RX: IO5, RTS: IO18, CTS: IO19)
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(uart_set_pin(UART_NUM_2, 4, 5, 18, 19));

Driver Installation

Once the communication pins are set, install the driver by calling uart_driver_install() and specify the following parameters:

Size of Tx ring buffer
Size of Rx ring buffer
Event queue handle and size
Flags to allocate an interrupt

The function will allocate the required internal resources for the UART driver.

// Setup UART buffered IO with event queue
const int uart_buffer_size = (1024 * 2);
QueueHandle_t uart_queue;
// Install UART driver using an event queue here
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(uart_driver_install(UART_NUM_2, uart_buffer_size, \
                                        uart_buffer_size, 10, &uart_queue, 0));

Once this step is complete, you can connect the external UART device and check the communication.

Running UART Communication

Serial communication is controlled by each UART controller’s finite state machine (FSM).

The process of sending data involves the following steps:

Write data into Tx FIFO buffer
FSM serializes the data
FSM sends the data out

The process of receiving data is similar, but the steps are reversed:

FSM processes an incoming serial stream and parallelizes it
FSM writes the data into Rx FIFO buffer
Read the data from Rx FIFO buffer

Therefore, an application will be limited to writing and reading data from a respective buffer using uart_write_bytes() and uart_read_bytes() respectively, and the FSM will do the rest.

Transmitting

After preparing the data for transmission, call the function uart_write_bytes() and pass the data buffer’s address and data length to it. The function will copy the data to the Tx ring buffer (either immediately or after enough space is available), and then exit. When there is free space in the Tx FIFO buffer, an interrupt service routine (ISR) moves the data from the Tx ring buffer to the Tx FIFO buffer in the background. The code below demonstrates the use of this function.

// Write data to UART.
char* test_str = "This is a test string.\n";
uart_write_bytes(uart_num, (const char*)test_str, strlen(test_str));

The function uart_write_bytes_with_break() is similar to uart_write_bytes() but adds a serial break signal at the end of the transmission. A ‘serial break signal’ means holding the Tx line low for a period longer than one data frame.

// Write data to UART, end with a break signal.
uart_write_bytes_with_break(uart_num, "test break\n",strlen("test break\n"), 100);

Another function for writing data to the Tx FIFO buffer is uart_tx_chars(). Unlike uart_write_bytes(), this function will not block until space is available. Instead, it will write all data which can immediately fit into the hardware Tx FIFO, and then return the number of bytes that were written.

There is a ‘companion’ function uart_wait_tx_done() that monitors the status of the Tx FIFO buffer and returns once it is empty.

// Wait for packet to be sent
const uart_port_t uart_num = UART_NUM_2;
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(uart_wait_tx_done(uart_num, 100)); // wait timeout is 100 RTOS ticks (TickType_t)

Receiving

Once the data is received by the UART and saved in the Rx FIFO buffer, it needs to be retrieved using the function uart_read_bytes(). Before reading data, you can check the number of bytes available in the Rx FIFO buffer by calling uart_get_buffered_data_len(). An example of using these functions is given below.

// Read data from UART.
const uart_port_t uart_num = UART_NUM_2;
uint8_t data[128];
int length = 0;
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(uart_get_buffered_data_len(uart_num, (size_t*)&length));
length = uart_read_bytes(uart_num, data, length, 100);

If the data in the Rx FIFO buffer is no longer needed, you can clear the buffer by calling uart_flush().

Software Flow Control

If the hardware flow control is disabled, you can manually set the RTS and DTR signal levels by using the functions uart_set_rts() and uart_set_dtr() respectively.

Communication Mode Selection

The UART controller supports a number of communication modes. A mode can be selected using the function uart_set_mode(). Once a specific mode is selected, the UART driver will handle the behavior of a connected UART device accordingly. As an example, it can control the RS485 driver chip using the RTS line to allow half-duplex RS485 communication.

// Setup UART in rs485 half duplex mode
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(uart_set_mode(uart_num, UART_MODE_RS485_HALF_DUPLEX));

Using Interrupts

There are many interrupts that can be generated following specific UART states or detected errors. The full list of available interrupts is provided in ESP32 Technical Reference Manual > UART Controller (UART) > UART Interrupts and UHCI Interrupts [PDF]. You can enable or disable specific interrupts by calling uart_enable_intr_mask() or uart_disable_intr_mask() respectively. The mask of all interrupts is available as UART_INTR_MASK.

By default, the uart_driver_install() function installs the driver’s internal interrupt handler to manage the Tx and Rx ring buffers and provides high-level API functions like events (see below). It is also possible to register a lower level interrupt handler instead using uart_isr_register(), and to free it again using uart_isr_free(). Some UART driver functions which use the Tx and Rx ring buffers, events, etc. will not automatically work in this case - it is necessary to handle the interrupts directly in the ISR. Inside the custom handler implementation, clear the interrupt status bits using uart_clear_intr_status().

The API provides a convenient way to handle specific interrupts discussed in this document by wrapping them into dedicated functions:

Event detection: There are several events defined in uart_event_type_t that may be reported to a user application using the FreeRTOS queue functionality. You can enable this functionality when calling uart_driver_install() described in Driver Installation. An example of using Event detection can be found in peripherals/uart/uart_events.
FIFO space threshold or transmission timeout reached: The Tx and Rx FIFO buffers can trigger an interrupt when they are filled with a specific number of characters, or on a timeout of sending or receiving data. To use these interrupts, do the following:
- Configure respective threshold values of the buffer length and timeout by entering them in the structure uart_intr_config_t and calling uart_intr_config()
- Enable the interrupts using the functions uart_enable_tx_intr() and uart_enable_rx_intr()
- Disable these interrupts using the corresponding functions uart_disable_tx_intr() or uart_disable_rx_intr()
Pattern detection: An interrupt triggered on detecting a ‘pattern’ of the same character being received/sent repeatedly for a number of times. This functionality is demonstrated in the example peripherals/uart/uart_events. It can be used, e.g., to detect a command string followed by a specific number of identical characters (the ‘pattern’) added at the end of the command string. The following functions are available:
- Configure and enable this interrupt using uart_enable_pattern_det_intr()
- Disable the interrupt using uart_disable_pattern_det_intr()

Macros

The API also defines several macros. For example, UART_FIFO_LEN defines the length of hardware FIFO buffers; UART_BITRATE_MAX gives the maximum baud rate supported by the UART controllers, etc.

Deleting a Driver

If the communication established with uart_driver_install() is no longer required, the driver can be removed to free allocated resources by calling uart_driver_delete().

Overview of RS485 specific communication options

备注

The following section will use [UART_REGISTER_NAME].[UART_FIELD_BIT] to refer to UART register fields/bits. For more information on a specific option bit, see ESP32 Technical Reference Manual > UART Controller (UART) > Register Summary [PDF]. Use the register name to navigate to the register description and then find the field/bit.

UART_RS485_CONF_REG.UART_RS485_EN: setting this bit enables RS485 communication mode support.
UART_RS485_CONF_REG.UART_RS485TX_RX_EN: if this bit is set, the transmitter’s output signal loops back to the receiver’s input signal.
UART_RS485_CONF_REG.UART_RS485RXBY_TX_EN: if this bit is set, the transmitter will still be sending data if the receiver is busy (remove collisions automatically by hardware).

The ESP32’s RS485 UART hardware can detect signal collisions during transmission of a datagram and generate the interrupt UART_RS485_CLASH_INT if this interrupt is enabled. The term collision means that a transmitted datagram is not equal to the one received on the other end. Data collisions are usually associated with the presence of other active devices on the bus or might occur due to bus errors.

The collision detection feature allows handling collisions when their interrupts are activated and triggered. The interrupts UART_RS485_FRM_ERR_INT and UART_RS485_PARITY_ERR_INT can be used with the collision detection feature to control frame errors and parity bit errors accordingly in RS485 mode. This functionality is supported in the UART driver and can be used by selecting the UART_MODE_RS485_APP_CTRL mode (see the function uart_set_mode()).

The collision detection feature can work with circuit A and circuit C (see Section Interface Connection Options). In the case of using circuit A or B, the RTS pin connected to the DE pin of the bus driver should be controlled by the user application. Use the function uart_get_collision_flag() to check if the collision detection flag has been raised.

The ESP32 UART controllers themselves do not support half-duplex communication as they cannot provide automatic control of the RTS pin connected to the ~RE/DE input of RS485 bus driver. However, half-duplex communication can be achieved via software control of the RTS pin by the UART driver. This can be enabled by selecting the UART_MODE_RS485_HALF_DUPLEX mode when calling uart_set_mode().

Once the host starts writing data to the Tx FIFO buffer, the UART driver automatically asserts the RTS pin (logic 1); once the last bit of the data has been transmitted, the driver de-asserts the RTS pin (logic 0). To use this mode, the software would have to disable the hardware flow control function. This mode works with all the used circuits shown below.

Interface Connection Options

This section provides example schematics to demonstrate the basic aspects of ESP32’s RS485 interface connection.

备注

The schematics below do not necessarily contain all required elements.
The analog devices ADM483 & ADM2483 are examples of common RS485 transceivers and can be replaced with other similar transceivers.

             GND          GND

This circuit is preferable because it allows for collision detection and is quite simple at the same time. The receiver in the line driver is constantly enabled, which allows the UART to monitor the RS485 bus. Echo suppression is performed by the UART peripheral when the bit UART_RS485_CONF_REG.UART_RS485TX_RX_EN is enabled.

                           |
                          GND

This circuit does not allow for collision detection. It suppresses the null bytes that the hardware receives when the bit UART_RS485_CONF_REG.UART_RS485TX_RX_EN is set. The bit UART_RS485_CONF_REG.UART_RS485RXBY_TX_EN is not applicable in this case.

This galvanically isolated circuit does not require RTS pin control by a software application or driver because it controls the transceiver direction automatically. However, it requires suppressing null bytes during transmission by setting UART_RS485_CONF_REG.UART_RS485RXBY_TX_EN to 1 and UART_RS485_CONF_REG.UART_RS485TX_RX_EN to 0. This setup can work in any RS485 UART mode or even in UART_MODE_UART.

esp_err_t uart_set_pin(uart_port_t uart_num, int tx_io_num, int rx_io_num, int rts_io_num, int cts_io_num)

Assign signals of a UART peripheral to GPIO pins.

备注

If the GPIO number configured for a UART signal matches one of the IOMUX signals for that GPIO, the signal will be connected directly via the IOMUX. Otherwise the GPIO and signal will be connected via the GPIO Matrix. For example, if on an ESP32 the call uart_set_pin(0, 1, 3, -1, -1) is performed, as GPIO1 is UART0’s default TX pin and GPIO3 is UART0’s default RX pin, both will be connected to respectively U0TXD and U0RXD through the IOMUX, totally bypassing the GPIO matrix. The check is performed on a per-pin basis. Thus, it is possible to have RX pin binded to a GPIO through the GPIO matrix, whereas TX is binded to its GPIO through the IOMUX.

备注

Internal signal can be output to multiple GPIO pads. Only one GPIO pad can connect with input signal.

esp_err_t uart_set_wakeup_threshold(uart_port_t uart_num, int wakeup_threshold)

Set the number of RX pin signal edges for light sleep wakeup.

UART can be used to wake up the system from light sleep. This feature works by counting the number of positive edges on RX pin and comparing the count to the threshold. When the count exceeds the threshold, system is woken up from light sleep. This function allows setting the threshold value.

Stop bit and parity bits (if enabled) also contribute to the number of edges. For example, letter ‘a’ with ASCII code 97 is encoded as 0100001101 on the wire (with 8n1 configuration), start and stop bits included. This sequence has 3 positive edges (transitions from 0 to 1). Therefore, to wake up the system when ‘a’ is sent, set wakeup_threshold=3.

The character that triggers wakeup is not received by UART (i.e. it can not be obtained from UART FIFO). Depending on the baud rate, a few characters after that will also not be received. Note that when the chip enters and exits light sleep mode, APB frequency will be changing. To make sure that UART has correct baud rate all the time, select REF_TICK as UART clock source, by setting use_ref_tick field in uart_config_t to true.

备注

in ESP32, the wakeup signal can only be input via IO_MUX (i.e. GPIO3 should be configured as function_1 to wake up UART0, GPIO9 should be configured as function_5 to wake up UART1), UART2 does not support light sleep wakeup feature.

GPIO Lookup Macros

The UART peripherals have dedicated IO_MUX pins to which they are connected directly. However, signals can also be routed to other pins using the less direct GPIO matrix. To use direct routes, you need to know which pin is a dedicated IO_MUX pin for a UART channel. GPIO Lookup Macros simplify the process of finding and assigning IO_MUX pins. You choose a macro based on either the IO_MUX pin number, or a required UART channel name, and the macro will return the matching counterpart for you. See some examples below.

备注

These macros are useful if you need very high UART baud rates (over 40 MHz), which means you will have to use IO_MUX pins only. In other cases, these macros can be ignored, and you can use the GPIO Matrix as it allows you to configure any GPIO pin for any UART function.

UART_NUM_2_TXD_DIRECT_GPIO_NUM returns the IO_MUX pin number of UART channel 2 TXD pin (pin 17)
UART_GPIO19_DIRECT_CHANNEL returns the UART number of GPIO 19 when connected to the UART peripheral via IO_MUX (this is UART_NUM_0)
UART_CTS_GPIO19_DIRECT_CHANNEL returns the UART number of GPIO 19 when used as the UART CTS pin via IO_MUX (this is UART_NUM_0). Similar to the above macro but specifies the pin function which is also part of the IO_MUX assignment.
