7.4.2 Programming

The basic interface software flowchart required for operation of the serial module is shown

in Figure 7-10. The routines are divided into three categories:

• Serial Module Initialization

• I/O Driver

• Interrupt Handling

7.4.2.1 SERIAL MODULE INITIALIZATION. The serial module initialization routines

consist of SINIT and CHCHK. SINIT is called at system initialization time to check channel

A and channel B operation. Before SINIT is called, the calling routine allocates two words

on the system stack. Upon return to the calling routine, SINIT passes information on the

system stack to reflect the status of the channels. If SINIT finds no errors in either channel

A or channel B, the respective receivers and transmitters are enabled. The CHCHK

routine performs the actual channel checks as called from the SINIT routine. When called,

SINIT places the specified channel in the local loopback mode and checks for the

following errors:

• Transmitter Never Ready

• Receiver Never Ready

• Parity Error

• Incorrect Character Received

7.4.2.2 I/O DRIVER EXAMPLE. The I/O driver routines consist of INCH, OUTCH, and

POUTCH. INCH is the terminal input character routine and gets a character from the

channel A receiver and places it in the lower byte of register D0. OUTCH is used to send

the character in the lower byte of register D0 to the channel A transmitter. POUTCH sends

the character in the lower byte of D0 to the channel B transmitter.

7.4.2.3 INTERRUPT HANDLING. The interrupt handling routine consists of SIRQ, which

is executed after the serial module generates an interrupt caused by a channel A change-

in-break (beginning of a break). SIRQ then clears the interrupt source, waits for the next

change-in-break interrupt (end of break), clears the interrupt source again, then returns

from exception processing to the system monitor.
