Serial Communication

Code Library - 8051 Assembly Share inShare Download SocButtons Here are a few simple subroutines for serial communications. For more information on serial communication ple baudrate: This subroutine initializes the controllers com port, initializes Timer 1 in Mode 2 i.e. for auto reload m the baudrate. We have used 9600 baudrate. baudrate: mov scon,#50h //Tnitialize serial communication mov TMOD,#20h //Timer 1 Mode 2 mov TH1,#0fdh //For 9600 baudrate setb TR1 //Start Timer 1 ret
send:

This subroutine sends serially whatever data is in the accumulator i.e. loads it into SBUF and waits for the b

we wait till the TI (Transmit Interrupt) flag is set. send: mov sbuf,a jnb TI,$ clr TI ret
receive:

This subroutine waits till a byte is received i.e. till RI (receive Interrupt) flag is set. Then the received accumulator. send: mov sbuf,a jnb TI,$ clr TI ret
check_receive:

Unlike the receive subroutine which waits till a byte is received this subroutine checks if a byte i

received the Carry flag is cleared and return. If a byte is received then the carry flag is set and the received accumulator and return. check_receive: jb RI,c1_check_receive clr c ret c1_check_receive: clr RI mov a,sbuf setb c ret
send_newline:

I find this subroutine very useful especially when i have to use HyperTerminal for checking subroutine sends the newline character and the carriage return character. So basically the next byte that we send of next line. send_newline: mov a,#10 call send mov a,#13 call send ret

Here is a complete program for serial communication. When Power is turned ON the Controller sends DNA TE to the PC and then waits for a byte to be received from the PC. The controller sends back whatever byte that ha All the bytes are sent on new line. Org 0000h call baudrate baudrate //Initialize the COM port and set the
