pub struct Uart { /* private fields */ }Expand description
Provides access to the Raspberry Pi’s UART peripherals and any USB to serial adapters.
The embedded-hal serial::Read, serial::Write and blocking::serial::Write trait
implementations for Uart can be enabled by specifying the optional hal feature in the
dependency declaration for the rppal crate.
Implementations§
source§impl Uart
 
impl Uart
sourcepub fn new(
    baud_rate: u32,
    parity: Parity,
    data_bits: u8,
    stop_bits: u8
) -> Result<Uart>
 
pub fn new( baud_rate: u32, parity: Parity, data_bits: u8, stop_bits: u8 ) -> Result<Uart>
Constructs a new Uart.
new attempts to identify the UART peripheral tied to BCM GPIO 14 and
15, and then calls with_path with the appropriate device path.
sourcepub fn with_path<P: AsRef<Path>>(
    path: P,
    baud_rate: u32,
    parity: Parity,
    data_bits: u8,
    stop_bits: u8
) -> Result<Uart>
 
pub fn with_path<P: AsRef<Path>>( path: P, baud_rate: u32, parity: Parity, data_bits: u8, stop_bits: u8 ) -> Result<Uart>
Constructs a new Uart connected to the serial character device
specified by path.
with_path can be used to connect to either a UART peripheral or a USB
to serial adapter.
When a new Uart is constructed, the specified device is configured
for non-canonical mode which processes input per character, ignores any
special terminal input or output characters and disables local echo. DCD
is ignored, all flow control is disabled, and the input and output queues
are flushed.
sourcepub fn set_baud_rate(&mut self, baud_rate: u32) -> Result<()>
 
pub fn set_baud_rate(&mut self, baud_rate: u32) -> Result<()>
Sets the line speed in baud (Bd).
On the Raspberry Pi, baud rate is equivalent to bit rate in bits per second (bit/s).
Accepted values:
0, 50, 75, 110, 134, 150, 200, 300, 600, 1_200,
1_800, 2_400, 4_800, 9_600, 19_200, 38_400, 57_600,
115_200, 230_400, 460_800, 500_000, 576_000, 921_600,
1_000_000, 1_152_000, 1_500_000, 2_000_000, 2_500_000,
3_000_000, 3_500_000, 4_000_000.
Support for some values may be device-dependent.
sourcepub fn set_parity(&mut self, parity: Parity) -> Result<()>
 
pub fn set_parity(&mut self, parity: Parity) -> Result<()>
Sets the parity bit mode.
The parity bit mode determines how the parity bit is calculated.
Support for some modes may be device-dependent.
sourcepub fn parity_check(&self) -> ParityCheck
 
pub fn parity_check(&self) -> ParityCheck
Returns the parity check mode for incoming data.
sourcepub fn set_parity_check(&mut self, parity_check: ParityCheck) -> Result<()>
 
pub fn set_parity_check(&mut self, parity_check: ParityCheck) -> Result<()>
Configures parity checking for incoming data.
The parity check mode determines how parity errors are handled.
By default, parity_check is set to None.
Support for some modes may be device-dependent.
sourcepub fn set_data_bits(&mut self, data_bits: u8) -> Result<()>
 
pub fn set_data_bits(&mut self, data_bits: u8) -> Result<()>
Sets the number of data bits.
Accepted values: 5, 6, 7, 8.
Support for some values may be device-dependent.
sourcepub fn set_stop_bits(&mut self, stop_bits: u8) -> Result<()>
 
pub fn set_stop_bits(&mut self, stop_bits: u8) -> Result<()>
Sets the number of stop bits.
Accepted values: 1, 2.
Support for some values may be device-dependent.
sourcepub fn set_dtr(&mut self, dtr: bool) -> Result<()>
 
pub fn set_dtr(&mut self, dtr: bool) -> Result<()>
Sets DTR to active (true) or inactive (false).
DTR is not supported by the Raspberry Pi’s UART peripherals, but may be available on some USB to serial adapters.
sourcepub fn set_rts(&mut self, rts: bool) -> Result<()>
 
pub fn set_rts(&mut self, rts: bool) -> Result<()>
Sets RTS to active (true) or inactive (false).
sourcepub fn software_flow_control(&self) -> bool
 
pub fn software_flow_control(&self) -> bool
Returns true if XON/XOFF software flow control is enabled.
sourcepub fn set_software_flow_control(
    &mut self,
    software_flow_control: bool
) -> Result<()>
 
pub fn set_software_flow_control( &mut self, software_flow_control: bool ) -> Result<()>
Enables or disables XON/XOFF software flow control.
When software flow control is enabled, incoming XON (decimal 17) and
XOFF (decimal 19) control characters are filtered from the input queue.
When XOFF is received, the transmission of data in the output queue is
paused until the external device sends XON. XOFF is automatically sent
to the external device to prevent the input queue from overflowing.
XON is sent when the input queue is ready for more data. You can also
manually send these control characters by calling send_stop and
send_start.
By default, software flow control is disabled.
Support for XON/XOFF software flow control is
device-dependent. You can manually implement XON/XOFF by disabling
software flow control, parsing incoming XON/XOFF control characters
received with read, and sending XON/XOFF when needed using
write.
sourcepub fn hardware_flow_control(&self) -> bool
 
pub fn hardware_flow_control(&self) -> bool
Returns true if RTS/CTS hardware flow control is enabled.
sourcepub fn set_hardware_flow_control(
    &mut self,
    hardware_flow_control: bool
) -> Result<()>
 
pub fn set_hardware_flow_control( &mut self, hardware_flow_control: bool ) -> Result<()>
Enables or disables RTS/CTS hardware flow control.
When hardware flow control is enabled, the RTS line (active low) is
automatically driven high to prevent the input queue from overflowing,
and driven low when the input queue is ready for more data. When the
CTS line (active low) is driven high by the external device, all data
in the output queue is held until CTS is driven low. You can also
manually change the active state of RTS by calling send_stop and
send_start.
When Uart is controlling a UART peripheral, enabling hardware flow
control will also configure the RTS and CTS pins.
More information on hardware flow control can be found here.
By default, hardware flow control is disabled.
Support for RTS/CTS hardware flow control is device-dependent. You can
manually implement RTS/CTS using cts, send_stop and
send_start, or by disabling hardware flow control and configuring
an OutputPin for RTS and an InputPin for CTS.
sourcepub fn send_stop(&self) -> Result<()>
 
pub fn send_stop(&self) -> Result<()>
Requests the external device to pause its transmission using flow control.
If software flow control is enabled, send_stop
sends the XOFF control character.
If hardware flow control is enabled, send_stop sets RTS to its
inactive state.
sourcepub fn send_start(&self) -> Result<()>
 
pub fn send_start(&self) -> Result<()>
Requests the external device to resume its transmission using flow control.
If software flow control is enabled, send_start
sends the XON control character.
If hardware flow control is enabled, send_start sets RTS to its
active state.
sourcepub fn is_read_blocking(&self) -> bool
 
pub fn is_read_blocking(&self) -> bool
Returns true if read is configured to block when needed.
sourcepub fn is_write_blocking(&self) -> bool
 
pub fn is_write_blocking(&self) -> bool
Returns true if write is configured to block when needed.
sourcepub fn set_read_mode(&mut self, min_length: u8, timeout: Duration) -> Result<()>
 
pub fn set_read_mode(&mut self, min_length: u8, timeout: Duration) -> Result<()>
Sets the blocking mode for subsequent calls to read.
min_length indicates the minimum number of requested bytes. This
value may differ from the actual buffer length. Maximum value: 255
bytes.
timeout indicates how long read blocks while waiting for
incoming data. timeout uses a 0.1 second resolution. Maximum
value: 25.5 seconds.
read operates in one of four modes, depending on the specified
min_length and timeout values:
- Non-blocking read (min_length= 0,timeout= 0).readretrieves any available data and returns immediately.
- Blocking read (min_length> 0,timeout= 0).readblocks until at leastmin_lengthbytes are available, or the provided buffer is full.
- Read with timeout (min_length= 0,timeout> 0).readblocks until at least one byte is available, or thetimeoutduration elapses.
- Read with inter-byte timeout (min_length> 0,timeout> 0).readblocks until at leastmin_lengthbytes are available, the provided buffer is full, or thetimeoutduration elapses after receiving one or more bytes. The timer is started after an initial byte becomes available, and is restarted after each additional byte. That meansreadwill block indefinitely until at least one byte has been received.
By default, read is configured as non-blocking.
sourcepub fn set_write_mode(&mut self, blocking: bool) -> Result<()>
 
pub fn set_write_mode(&mut self, blocking: bool) -> Result<()>
Sets the blocking mode for subsequent calls to write.
write operates in one of two modes, depending on the specified
blocking value:
- Non-blocking write. writereturns immediately after copying as much of the contents of the provided buffer to the output queue as it’s able to fit.
- Blocking write. writeblocks until the entire contents of the provided buffer can be copied to the output queue. If flow control is enabled and the external device has sent a stop request, the transmission of any waiting data in the output queue is paused until a start request has been received.
By default, write is configured as non-blocking.
sourcepub fn input_len(&self) -> Result<usize>
 
pub fn input_len(&self) -> Result<usize>
Returns the number of bytes waiting in the input queue.
sourcepub fn output_len(&self) -> Result<usize>
 
pub fn output_len(&self) -> Result<usize>
Returns the number of bytes waiting in the output queue.
sourcepub fn read(&mut self, buffer: &mut [u8]) -> Result<usize>
 
pub fn read(&mut self, buffer: &mut [u8]) -> Result<usize>
Receives incoming data from the external device and stores it in
buffer.
read operates in one of four (non)blocking modes, depending on the
settings configured by set_read_mode. By default, read is configured
as non-blocking.
Returns how many bytes were read.
sourcepub fn write(&mut self, buffer: &[u8]) -> Result<usize>
 
pub fn write(&mut self, buffer: &[u8]) -> Result<usize>
Sends the contents of buffer to the external device.
write operates in either blocking or non-blocking mode, depending on the
settings configured by set_write_mode. By default, write is configured
as non-blocking.
Returns how many bytes were written.
