Here we use C-language for programming and avr-gcc compiler to compile our program. And now create a simple serial.c with follwoing content. serial.c

35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48.

/* main Method*/ int main(){ char value; //method to initialise serial port serial_init(); while(1) { _delay_ms(10); //read data from serial and store it into value value = serial_read(); //write value onto the serial serial_write(value); } return 0; }

Here first we have to initialise the serial port. serial_init() method is used to initialise the serial port.

1. 2.

UBRRH = 0x00; UBRRL = 0xCF;

UBRR is USART BaudRate Register. There are two registers to set baudrate, i.e higher and lower. These two registers together stores baudrate value. UCSR is USART control and status register. It contains three parts like UCSRA,UCSRB and UCSRC. These three registers are mainly used to configure serial device.

1.

UCSRA = (1 << U2X);

UCSRA is configured to enable communication in both Tx and Rx mode i.e duplex mode.

1.

UCSRB = (1 << TXEN) | (1 << RXEN);

UCSRB is configured to make USART reciever and transmitter enable.

1.

UCSRC = (1 << URSEL) | (1<<USBS) | (1 << UCSZ0) | (1 << UCSZ1);

USCRC is configured in such way that serial port must use 1 stop bit i.e (1 << USBS) and data frame of 8 bits i.e [(1 << UCSZ0) | (UCSZ1)]. serial_read() method is used to read data from serial. To recieve data from serial we have to enable recieve pin of UCSRA i.e (1 << RXC). And this method returns data into the UDR.Similarly serial_write() method is used to write data on serial. Now open terminal execute the follwoing commands.

1.

$ avr-gcc -mmcu=atmega16 -o serial.out -WL,-Map, serial.map serial.c -Wall

It compiles your serial.c file into serial.out file.

1.

$ avr-objcopy -R .eeprom -O ihex serial.out serial.hex

It generates serial.hex files

1.

$ avrdude -p m16 -c usbasp -P usb -U flash:w:serial.hex

It loads serial.hex file into microcontroller. Now open Cutecom on your computer, set baud rate values, stop bit, start bit and databits.And these values should match the values which are set in your program. Now click on open device and type data into input area. This data will appear on the output area. The following figure shows the working of serial with the Cutecom terminal.
