IoT APIs

 

The Tizen IoT API provides a common set of interfaces allowing you to build compelling IoT device applications which achieve native performance. The characteristics include:

  • Common set API, which means that the Tizen IoT API is based on the Tizen 4.0 common profile. The API supports the common set of mobile, wearable, and TV profiles and allows you to make IoT applications, such as network audio applications.
  • Available platform binaries, which allow you to efficiently create an IoT application. Tizen Common Headed binaries for Raspberry Pi 3 and ARTIK 530 have passed the API test verification, which means that you can create IoT applications with a productive quality.

In Preview 1, the Tizen IoT API releases only the native "C" API. Other convenient language types for the API are to be considered in the future.

The following table lists the IoT-specific Tizen platform API group.


Things SDK API

Developing "Things" which are market-ready (with cloud support) has been a challenge for most of the companies and individual developers. The SmartThings™ Things SDK API helps you to create new IoT devices easily. The version number of the first release is 0.9, which is the preview version.

The 2 core components for creating a new device are:

  • SmartThings™ Things JSON Configuration file (device_definition.json)

    For more information on the configuration file details, see Device Definition.

  • Application logic and user interaction

    For more information on using the SmartThings™ Things SDK API, see API Usage.

Creating a new device

The SmartThings™ (ST) Things SDK provides you an easy and configurable option to build and deploy your own devices quickly:

  • The ST Things SDK provides JSON-based things definition, which:
    • Defines device and platform information.
    • Defines resources that the thing is supporting.
    • Defines an easy-setup configuration.
  • The ST Things SDK provides spec-agnostic APIs, which:
    • Hide the interface and resource type details in a request data.
    • Divide a collection resource request into single resource requests.
    • Provide the "property_key" in case of the GET request.

The SmartThings™ Things SDK API provides the following benefits for you:

  • Supporting pin-based and UserConfirm(Certificate)-based OTM in EasySetup.
  • Providing a JSON-based device/resource definition method in a single file:
    • Includes Single resource and Collection resource support.
  • Resources that are defined in a JSON file/string are made internally.
  • Easy APIs to handle requests and responses:
    • Supports request methods: GET and POST.
    • You only need to make a representation (bundle of property values) for a response.
    • You do not need to handle interfaces, as they are handled internally.
    • The request to a collection resource is divided into individual requests to single resources.
  • Cloud setup (Sign-up/Sign-in/Sign-out/Resource publish to cloud) is handled internally.
  • Following operations are handled internally:
    • To respond to an Access Point List (APList) request from a client.
    • To start and stop softAP.
    • To connect to a target WiFi AP (Enroller).
    • To make the whole response data according to the interfaces (such as oic.if.baselineoic.if.b, and oic.if.ll).


API Usage

The following figure illustrates the SmartThings™ Things API life-cycle.

Initializing Stack and Callbacks

Once the device configuration JSON file is ready, you can specify the read-only and read-write paths in the st_things_set_configuration_prefix_path() function (optional), and specify the file in the st_things_initialize() function:

bool easysetup_complete = false;
st_things_set_configuration_prefix_path("/ropath/XXX/res", "/rwpath/XXX/data"); /* Optional */
st_things_initialize("sample_device.json", &easysetup_complete);

/* User input can be handled graphically or using CLI */
/* You need to decide that */
if (!easysetup_complete) {
    int cmd = 0;
    printf("[%s]Start Easysetup ? (1:yes, other:no): ", TAG);
    scanf("%d", &cmd);
    if (1 != cmd) {
        st_things_deinitialize();

        return 0;
    }
}

/* Register Callbacks */
st_things_register_request_cb(handle_get_request, handle_set_request);
st_things_register_reset_cb(handle_reset_request, handle_reset_result);
st_things_register_user_confirm_cb(handle_ownership_transfer_request);
st_things_register_things_status_change_cb(handle_things_status_change);

st_things_start();
printf("ST Things Stack started\n");

handle_main_loop();

st_things_stop();
printf("ST Things Stack Stopped\n");
st_things_deinitialize();
printf("ST Things Stack deinitialized\n");

You must define the highlighted code in the above example. The st_XXX() functions come from the ST Things SDK API. For more information, see the API Documentation.

Getting and Setting Request Handling Callbacks

Assume that the following resources and resource types are defined in the sample_device.json file:

Example: Resources and resource types

"resources": {
   "single": [
      {
         "uri": "/switch",
         "types": [
            "oic.r.switch.binary"
         ],
         "interfaces": [
            "oic.if.a",
            "oic.if.baseline"
         ],
         "policy": 3
      },
      {
         "uri": "/audio",
         "types": [
            "oic.r.audio"
         ],
         "interfaces": [
            "oic.if.a",
            "oic.if.baseline"
         ],
         "policy": 3
      }
   ]
}
"resourceTypes": [
   {
      "type": "oic.r.switch.binary",
      "properties": [
         {
            "key": "value",
         "type": 0,
            "mandatory": true,
            "rw": 3
         }
      ]
   },
   {
      "type": "oic.r.audio",
      "properties": [
         {
            "key": "volume",
            "type": 1,
            "mandatory": true,
            "rw": 3
         },
         {
            "key": "mute",
            "type": 0,
            "mandatory": true,
            "rw": 3
         }
      ]
   }
]

The 2 defined resources are:

  • Switch (URI = "/switch")
  • Audio (URI = "/audio")

The following example illustrates the get and set request handlers:

static const char* RES_SWITCH = "/switch";
static const char* RES_AUDIO = "/audio";

bool
handle_get_request(st_things_get_request_message_s* req_msg, st_things_representation_s* resp_rep)
{
    printf("[%s]Received a GET request on %s\n", TAG, req_msg->resource_uri);
    bool ret = false;
    if (0 == strcmp(req_msg->resource_uri, RES_SWITCH)) {
        ret = handle_get_request_on_switch(req_msg, resp_rep);
    } else if (0 == strcmp(req_msg->resource_uri, RES_AUDIO)) {
        ret = handle_get_request_on_audio(req_msg, resp_rep);
    } else {
        printf("[%s]Not supported uri.\n", TAG);
    }

    return ret;
}

bool
handle_set_request(st_things_set_request_message_s* req_msg, st_things_representation_s* resp_rep)
{
    printf("[%s]Received a SET request on %s\n", TAG, req_msg->resource_uri);
    bool ret = false;

    if (0 == strcmp(req_msg->resource_uri, RES_SWITCH)) {
        ret = handle_set_request_on_switch(req_msg, resp_rep);
    } else if (0 == strcmp(req_msg->resource_uri, RES_AUDIO)) {
        ret = handle_set_request_on_audio(req_msg, resp_rep);
    } else {
        printf("[%s]Not supported uri.\n", TAG);
    }

    return ret;
}

The key difference is the req_msg->resource_uri value passed in the callbacks to distinguish the 2 resources. Since the resource URI is unique in the device definition, each resource can be handled separately.

The following examples illustrate the get and set request handling callbacks for a single and multiple properties:

  • For a single property, you must extract the desired property from the request message and update the device property database locally. Once you have updated the device property, you must update the response representation about the updated property which is sent to the client:
    #define TAG "DEVELOPER_DEVICE"
    
    static const char* PROPERTY_VALUE = "value";
    bool g_switch_value = false;
    
    bool
    handle_get_request_on_switch(st_things_get_request_message_s* req_msg, st_things_representation_s* resp_rep)
    {
        printf("[%s]IN-handle_get_request_on_switch() called..\n", TAG);
        printf("[%s]current switch value: %d\n", TAG, g_switch_value);
    
        resp_rep->set_bool_value(resp_rep, PROPERTY_VALUE, g_switch_value);
    
        printf("[%s]OUT-handle_get_request_on_switch() called..\n", TAG);
    
        return true;
    }
    
    bool
    handle_set_request_on_switch(st_things_set_request_message_s* req_msg, st_things_representation_s* resp_rep)
    {
        printf("[%s]IN-handle_set_request_on_switch() called..\n", TAG);
        printf("[%s]current switch value: %d\n", TAG, g_switch_value);
    
        bool desired_value = false;
        req_msg->rep->get_bool_value(req_msg->rep, PROPERTY_VALUE, &desired_value);
    
        printf("[%s]desired switch value: %d\n", TAG, desired_value);
        g_switch_value = desired_value;
        printf("[%s]changed switch value: %d\n", TAG, g_switch_value);
    
        resp_rep->set_bool_value(resp_rep, PROPERTY_VALUE, g_switch_value);
    
        printf("[%s]OUT-handle_set_request_on_switch() called..\n", TAG);
    
        return true;
    }
  • For multiple properties, the process is the same, except that you need to handle multiple properties at the same time:
    #define TAG "DEVELOPER_DEVICE"
    static const char* PROPERTY_VOLUME = "volume";
    static const char* PROPERTY_MUTE = "mute";
    int64_t g_audio_volume = 0;
    bool g_audio_mute = false;
    
    bool
    handle_get_request_on_audio(st_things_get_request_message_s* req_msg, st_things_representation_s* resp_rep)
    {
        printf("[%s]IN-handle_get_request_on_audio() called..\n", TAG);
        printf("[%s]current audio volume: %"PRId64".\n", TAG, g_audio_volume);
        printf("[%s]current audio mute: %d.\n", TAG, g_audio_mute);
    
        resp_rep->set_int_value(resp_rep, PROPERTY_VOLUME, g_audio_volume);
        resp_rep->set_bool_value(resp_rep, PROPERTY_MUTE, g_audio_mute);
        printf("[%s]OUT-handle_get_request_on_audio() called..\n", TAG);
    
        return true;
    }
    
    bool
    handle_set_request_on_audio(st_things_set_request_message_s* req_msg, st_things_representation_s* resp_rep)
    {
        printf("[%s]IN-handle_set_request_on_audio() called..\n", TAG);
        printf("[%s]current audio volume: %"PRId64".\n", TAG, g_audio_volume);
        printf("[%s]current audio mute: %d\n", TAG, g_audio_mute);
    
        int64_t desired_volume = 0;
        bool desired_mute = false;
        req_msg->rep->get_int_value(req_msg->rep, PROPERTY_VOLUME, &desired_volume);
        req_msg->rep->get_bool_value(req_msg->rep, PROPERTY_MUTE, &desired_mute);
    
        printf("[%s]desired audio volume: %"PRId64".\n", TAG, desired_volume);
        printf("[%s]desired audio mute: %d.\n", TAG, desired_mute);
    
        g_audio_volume = desired_volume;
        g_audio_mute = desired_mute;
    
        printf("[%s]changed audio volume: %"PRId64".\n", TAG, g_audio_volume);
        printf("[%s]changed audio mute: %d.\n", TAG, g_audio_mute);
    
        resp_rep->set_int_value(resp_rep, PROPERTY_VOLUME, g_audio_volume);
        resp_rep->set_bool_value(resp_rep, PROPERTY_MUTE, g_audio_mute);
    
        printf("[%s]OUT-handle_set_request_on_audio() called..\n", TAG);
    
        return true;
    }

Notifying Observers

The following example illustrates how you can notify observers:

#define TAG "DEVELOPER_DEVICE"
static const char* RES_SWITCH = "/switch";
static const char* RES_AUDIO = "/audio";
static const char* PROPERTY_VALUE = "value";
bool g_switch_value = false;

bool
notify_observers(const char *resource_uri)
{
    printf("[%s] Notify all observers for resource = %s\n", TAG, resource_uri);
    bool ret = false;
    if (0 == strcmp(resource_uri, RES_SWITCH)) {
        ret = st_things_notify_observers(resource_uri);
    } else if (0 == strcmp(resource_uri, RES_AUDIO)) {
        ret = st_things_notify_observers(resource_uri);
    } else {
        printf("[%s]Not supported uri.\n", TAG);
    }

    return ret;
}

bool
handle_set_request_on_switch(st_things_set_request_message_s* req_msg, st_things_representation_s* resp_rep)
{
    printf("[%s]IN-handle_set_request_on_switch() called.\n", TAG);
    printf("[%s]current switch value: %d\n", TAG, g_switch_value);
    bool is_value_changed = false;
    bool desired_value = false;
    req_msg->rep->get_bool_value(req_msg->rep, PROPERTY_VALUE, &desired_value);

    printf("[%s]desired switch value: %d\n", TAG, desired_value);
    if (g_switch_value = desired_value) {
        g_switch_value = desired_value;
        is_value_changed = true;
    }
    resp_rep->set_bool_value(resp_rep, PROPERTY_VALUE, g_switch_value);

    if (is_value_changed) {
        notify_observers(req_msg->resource_uri);
    }
    printf("[%s]OUT-handle_set_request_on_switch() called..\n", TAG);

    return true;
}

Tizen Peripheral I/O Native API

Tizen IoT provides the Peripheral I/O APIs for IoT devices to control peripherals, such as sensors and actuators, using industry-standard protocols and interfaces:

  • GPIO (General-Purpose Input/Output)
  • PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
  • SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)
  • I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)
  • UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter)

Since each peripheral supports different interfaces and protocols, you must check from the peripheral's specifications whether a specific protocol is supported. Peripheral I/O APIs are categorized based on the protocol.

Prerequisites

  1. To use the Peripheral I/O API, the application has to request permission by adding the following platform privilege to the tizen-manifest.xml file:
    <privileges>
       <privilege>http://tizen.org/privilege/peripheralio</privilege>
    </privileges>

    To obtain authorization to use platform-level privileges, the application must be signed with a platform-level distributor certificate. Create a certificate profile for signing the application:

    1. To open the Certificate Manager, in the Tizen Studio menu, go to Tools > Certificate Manager.

      Certificate Manager

    2. To add a new certificate profile for signing your application, click + in the Certificate Manager and enter a profile name.

      Add a new profile

    3. Select Create a new author certificate and click Next.

      Create an author certificate

    4. Enter the key file name, author name, password, and password again. If you want to provide more information for the certificate, enter the details after unfolding the More details section.

      Add author certificate details

    5. Select Use the default Tizen distributor certificate and the Platform privilege level, and click Finish.

      The new platform-level certificate is created and shown in the Certificate Manager.

      Select privilege level

      View new certificate

  2. To use the functions and data types of the Peripheral I/O API, include the <peripheral_io.h> header file in your application:
    #include <peripheral_io.h>


GPIO

GPIO (General-Purpose Input/Output) is a programmable interface for reading the state of binary input peripherals, such as a switch, and controlling the state of binary output peripherals, such as a LED.

GPIO sets a direction for the data transfer. It can also detect an interrupt signaled by a level transition: either a falling edge (high to low) or a rising edge (low to high). To detect the interrupt signal you want, set the appropriate edge mode.

GPIO offers the following edge modes:

  • Rising mode detects data changes from low to high.
  • Falling mode detects data changes from high to low.

Figure: GPIO edge modes

GPIO edge modes

Opening and Closing a Handle

To open and close a handle:

  1. To open a GPIO handle, use the peripheral_gpio_open() function:
    int pin = 26; /* ARTIK 530 : GPIO8, Raspberry Pi 3 : GPIO26 */
    peripheral_gpio_h gpio_h;
    peripheral_gpio_open(pin, &gpio_h);

    The pin parameter required for this function must be set according to the following tables.

    Table: ARTIK 530

    Pin namePin (parameter 1)Pin namePin (parameter 1)
    GPIO0128GPIO1129
    GPIO2130GPIO346
    GPIO414GPIO541
    GPIO625GPIO70
    GPIO826GPIO927

    GPIO1919GPIO2020
    GPIO2121GPIO2222
    GPIO2323GPIO2424
    GPIO2525GPIO2626
    GPIO2727--
    NoteFor more information on the pin names and locations, see Supported Protocols.
  2. To close a GPIO handle that is no longer used, use the peripheral_gpio_close() function:
    peripheral_gpio_close(gpio_h);

Setting the Data Direction

To set the data transfer direction, use the peripheral_gpio_set_direction() function with 1 of the following direction types:

  • PERIPHERAL_GPIO_DIRECTION_IN: Input mode to receive data from a binary output peripheral.
  • PERIPHERAL_GPIO_DIRECTION_OUT_INITIALLY_HIGH: Output mode to send data to a binary output peripheral. This value initializes the output peripheral state as high.
  • PERIPHERAL_GPIO_DIRECTION_OUT_INITIALLY_LOW: Output mode to send data to a binary output peripheral. This value initializes the output peripheral state as low.
peripheral_gpio_set_direction(gpio_h, PERIPHERAL_GPIO_DIRECTION_OUT_INITIALLY_LOW);
NoteTo set the data direction to PERIPHERAL_GPIO_DIRECTION_OUT_INITIALLY_HIGH or PERIPHERAL_GPIO_DIRECTION_OUT_INITIALLY_LOW, the edge mode must be set to PERIPHERAL_GPIO_EDGE_NONE.

Setting the Edge Mode

To set the edge mode, use the peripheral_gpio_set_edge_mode() function with 1 of the following edge mode types:

  • PERIPHERAL_GPIO_EDGE_NONE: No edge mode.
  • PERIPHERAL_GPIO_EDGE_RISING: Interrupted at a rising edge (low to high).
  • PERIPHERAL_GPIO_EDGE_FALLING: Interrupted at a falling edge (high to low).
  • PERIPHERAL_GPIO_EDGE_BOTH: Interrupted at both rising and falling edges.
peripheral_gpio_set_edge_mode(gpio_h, PERIPHERAL_GPIO_EDGE_RISING);
NoteTo set the edge mode to PERIPHERAL_GPIO_EDGE_RISINGPERIPHERAL_GPIO_EDGE_FALLING, or PERIPHERAL_GPIO_EDGE_BOTH, the data direction must be set to the PERIPHERAL_GPIO_DIRECTION_IN.

Setting the Interrupted Callback

The interrupted callback is called when the GPIO state changes, based on the selected edge mode.

The interrupted callback is unset when the peripheral_gpio_unset_interrupted_cb() function is called or when the callback receives an error value other than PERIPHERAL_ERROR_NONE.

To implement the interrupted callback:

  1. Define the interrupted callback content.
    static void
    interrupted_cb(peripheral_gpio_h gpio_h, peripheral_error_e error, void *user_data)
    {
        /* Code you want to run when the interrupt occurs */
    }
  2. Set the callback with the peripheral_gpio_set_interrupted_cb() function:
    peripheral_gpio_set_interrupted_cb(gpio_h, interrupted_cb, NULL);
  3. When no longer needed, unset the interrupt callback with the peripheral_gpio_unset_interrupted_cb()function:
    peripheral_gpio_unset_interrupted_cb(gpio_h);

Reading and Writing Binary Data

To read and write binary data:

  • To read binary data from a peripheral, use the peripheral_gpio_read() function:
    uint32_t value;
    peripheral_gpio_read(gpio_h, &value);
  • To write binary data to a peripheral, use the peripheral_gpio_write() function:
    uint32_t value = 1;
    peripheral_gpio_write(gpio_h, value);
NoteTo write binary data, the data direction must be set to PERIPHERAL_GPIO_DIRECTION_OUT_INITIALLY_HIGHor PERIPHERAL_GPIO_DIRECTION_OUT_INITIALLY_LOW.


PWM

PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) is a programmable interface that allows you to, for example, control motor speed or change light brightness.

Peripherals that support PWM are controlled by the current strength. To modulate the current, the voltage needs to be modulated. The voltage is proportional to the intensity of the current.

To modulate the voltage, you must set the duty cycle and polarity:

  • The period is a constant interval at which the pulse repeats.
  • The duty cycle is the constant time within 1 period in which a signal is active.
  • A "polarity high" signal starts high for the duration of the duty cycle and goes low for the remainder of the period. Conversely, a "polarity low" signal starts low for the duration of the duty cycle and goes high for the remainder of the period.
  • The pulse repeats if repetition has been enabled.

Figure: Duty cycle

Duty cycle

For example, if the period is 10,000,000 nanoseconds and the polarity high duty cycle is 7,000,000 nanoseconds, the average voltage is at 70%.

Figure: Average voltage per duty cycle

Average voltage per duty cycle

Opening and Closing a Handle

To open and close a handle:

  1. To open a PWM handle, use the peripheral_pwm_open() function:
    int chip = 0;
    int pin = 2;
    peripheral_pwm_h pwm_h;
    peripheral_pwm_open(chip, pin, &pwm_h);

    The chip and pin parameters required for this function must be set according to the following table.

    Table: ARTIK 530

    Pin nameChip (parameter 1)Pin (parameter 2)
    PWM002
    NoteFor more information on the pin names and locations, see Supported Protocols.
  2. To close a PWM handle that is no longer used, use the peripheral_pwm_close() function:
    peripheral_pwm_close(pwm_h);

SPI

SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is a programmable interface for transferring data quickly to peripherals that require high performance.

The SPI protocol is a serial communication method that controls the clock signal as master and other peripherals connected to SPI as slaves. This protocol is used by peripherals, such as heart-beat pulse sensors and graphic displays, that require fast data transfer.

Figure: SPI interface diagram

SPI interface diagram

The SPI is a communication method between 1 master and multiple slave devices. In the above figure:

  • CLK (SCLK or SCK) is a simple synchronization signal and a communication clock.
  • The data flows from the master to the slave in the MOSI (Master Out Slave In) line, and from the slave to the master in the MISO (Master In Slave Out) line. Full duplex data communication is possible with 2 lines (MOSI and MISO).
  • CS (Chip Select) is a signal for selecting a slave device.

SPI supports half duplex read/write and full duplex transfer.

To use SPI, you must set the following:

  • SPI mode

    Figure: SPI modes

    SPI modes

    Each of the 4 available SPI modes defines a specific combination of clock polarity (CPOL) and clock phase (CPHA).

    Table: SPI modes

    SPI mode

    Polarity

    (CPOL)

    Phase

    (CPHA)

    Description
    SPI MODE 000CLK (Clock) is first low and data is sampled on the rising edge of each clock pulse.
    SPI MODE 101CLK is first low and data is sampled on the falling edge of each clock pulse.
    SPI MODE 210CLK is first high and data is sampled on the falling edge of each clock pulse.
    SPI MODE 311CLK is first high and data is sampled on the rising edge of each clock pulse.
  • Bit order

    The bit order refers to the sequential order in which bytes are arranged into larger numerical values. MSB indicates that the most significant bit is transmitted first. LSB indicates that the least significant bit is transmitted first.

  • Bit per word

    The bit per word refers to the number of bits to be transmitted at a time when data is exchanged with a connected slave. Normally, it is set to 8 bits per word.

  • Frequency

    The frequency refers to the clock signal in Hz. Since the frequencies are different for each slave device, the applicable value must be checked from the peripheral's specification.

To open and close a handle:

  1. To open a SPI handle, use the peripheral_spi_open() function:
    int bus = 2;

    uint32_t length = 1;
    peripheral_spi_read(spi_h, &data, length);
  • To write data to a slave device, use the peripheral_spi_write() function:
    uint8_t data = 0x80;
    uint32_t length = 1;
    peripheral_spi_read(spi_h, &data, length);

    uint8_t rx_data[2];
    uint32_t length = 2;
    peripheral_spi_transfer(spi_h, tx_data, rx_data, length);


I²C

I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a programmable interface that allows you to communicate with I2C peripherals.

I2C is a synchronous serial interface that uses a clock signal to synchronize data transfers between master and slave device:

  • Master device generates the clock and initiates communication with slaves.
  • Slave device receives the clock and responds when addressed by the master.

Figure: I2C interface diagram

I2C interface diagram

To allow the I2C master to connect to 128 I2C slave devices, an I2C slave device provides a 7-bit address. Since most slave addresses are determined by the manufacturer, refer to the specification to find the slave device address.

Using the I2C bus, the master controls signal lines called SCL (Shared CLock) and SDA (Shared DAta) to read or write data to or from the device. SCL is a clock line for communication synchronization, and SDA is a data line. The master outputs the clock for synchronization with the SCL, and the slave outputs or receives data through the SDA according to the clock output to the SCL.

If the SDA line is used alone, only half duplex communication is possible because data is sent only to 1 line.

Opening and Closing a Handle

To open and close a handle:

  1. To open an I2C handle, use the peripheral_i2c_open() function:
    int bus = 1;
    int address = ...;   /* See the specification */
    peripheral_i2c_h i2c_h;
    peripheral_i2c_open(bus, address, &i2c_h);

    The bus parameter required for this function must be set according to the following table.

    Table: ARTIK 530 / Raspberry Pi 3

    Pin nameBus number (parameter 1)
    I2C1_SDAI2C1_SCL1
    NoteFor more information on the pin names and locations, see Supported Protocols.

    The address parameter must be set based on the peripheral specification.

  • To close an I2C handle that is no longer used, use the peripheral_i2c_close() function:
    peripheral_i2c_close(i2c_h);

Reading and Writing Data

To read and write data:

  • To write bytes to a slave device, use the peripheral_i2c_write() function:
    uint8_t data[2] = {0x06, 0x01};
    uint32_t length = 2;
    peripheral_i2c_write(i2c_h, data, length);

  • To read single byte data from a slave device register, use the peripheral_i2c_read_register_byte() function:
    uint8_t data ;
    uint8_t register_address = ...;  /* See the specification */

  • To read word data from a slave device register, use the peripheral_i2c_read_register_word() function:
    uint16_t data ;
    uint8_t register_address = ...;  /* See the specification */
    peripheral_i2c_read_register_word(i2c_h, register_address, &data);


UART

UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) is a programmable interface that allows you to communicate 1:1 with a UART peripheral.

Figure: UART interface diagram

UART interface diagram

UART is an interface for exchanging data with peripherals. It is an asynchronous method that transmits data without a clock line, and consists of only 2 data lines: transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx). UART performs 1:1 communication.

Figure: UART data frame

UART data frame

The UART data frame consists of start (1 bit), data (5~8 bit), parity (1 bit) and stop (1 bit):

  • Start bit

    Indicates the start of the communication before sending data and holds it for a bit time length.

  • Data

    Transmits 5 to 8 bits of data.

  • Parity bit

    Generates and transmits a parity value for error verification, and determines a receiving side error. The following options are available: NoneEven, and Odd parity. Selecting None removes this bit.

  • Stop bit

    Indicates the termination of the communication and holds 1 or 2 bits.

  • Baud rate

    Asynchronous transmission/receiving speeds must be matched to the peripheral. For this purpose, the number of signals transmitted per second can be synchronized with a peripheral. It is called the Baud.

If a device supports a 5-wire UART port, hardware flow control can be used to increase the reliability of the data transmission. Software flow control can also be used to increase reliability.
