I am trying to transmit a string and raised receive interrupt as
taking buf[20]

Code:
void _attribute__((__interrupt__,no_auto_psv)) _U1RXInterrupt(void){  // This is UART1 receive ISR 
          IFS0bits.U1RXIF = 0; 
          for(i=0;i<20;i++) 
            buf = ReadUART1(); 
          putsUART1((unsigned int*)buf); 
}

I used

Code:
U1MODEbits.LPBACK	= 0;    // Disable Loop Back

Code:
U1STAbits.URXISEL = 2;    // Interrupt flag bit is set when Receive Buffer is 3/4 full (i.e., has 3 data characters)

when i am using value 2 here , the loop discontinues when 3 data characters are filled and remaining array is replaced by 3 char.
when i am using value 3 here, the loop discontinues when 4 data char are filled
when i am using value 0 or 1 , it prints the same what typed ,with out filling the char array.


where does my logic go wrong ? I want to print a string of length for example " this is test".
I want to get
[TX] : this is test
[RX] : this is test


In the case if I want to add a big paragraph, i cannot mention a particular size like buf[20], then how to initialize ?

Post your full code. Post function definition of putsUART1().

for(i=0;i<20;i++) 
    //i is global variable
    buf[i++] = ReadUART1();
    buf[i] = '\0';
        
} 
 
 
 
putsUART1((unsigned int*)buf);  //assumed putsUART1() prints string

 

HI jayanth,

I have initilized a buffer array , char buf[24];

wrote an ISR as you mentioned

configured bits as
Code:
U1STAbits.UTXISEL	= 1;    // Interrupt when a character is transferred to the Transmit Shift register
    U1STAbits.UTXBRK 	= 0;    // Operate U1Tx Normally on Transmit Break Bit
    U1STAbits.UTXEN  	= 1;    // Enable U1 Tranmission   
   
    U1STAbits.URXISEL 	= 0;    // Interrupt flag bit is set when Receive Buffer is 3/4 full (i.e., has 1 data characters)
                                         //  b00 or b01 for 1 letter buffer size, b10 for 3 letter buffer , 11 for 4 letter buffer size

I could absolutely send and receive 1,3,4 chars respectively. And I can now understand that bufarray is being over written in last digits as I shown in the picture.

Now my problem is I want to transmit more than 4 letters at once and then receive.So for an example I have randomly chosen 24 chars .
If I write value for U1STAbits.URXISEL , the interrupt automatically breaks up when the buffer is full with 1 or 3 or 4 chars, as mentioned in the data sheet of the processor.

how do I write for a 24 char similarly ? Do I need to write a seperate ISR for this ? then how ? but I cannot use _U1TXInterrupt vector then.
Suggest me a way to do it ?

Use break if buffer is filled with 1 char. What I mean by buffer is the receive register of UART. You should send a terminating null character at the end of data so that once the end of data is received then the data is transmitted back.

Post the .c file.
