LPC1768 has 4 UARTS out of which UART0, UART2, UART3 are very similar while UART1 is little bit different from all these.
+
 
+
===Registers===
+
Let's have a brief review through some of the important UART registers.
+
 
+
====RBR ( Receiver Buffer Register )====
+
The RBR is the top byte of the UART receiver FIFO. The top byte of this FIFO contains
+
the oldest character received.
+
 
+
The data byte is available in the register bits 0:7.
+
 
+
While accessing this register, the DLAB bit in LCR must be zero.
+
 
+
====THR ( Transmit Holding Register )====
+
The THR is the top byte of the UART transmitter FIFO. The top byte is the newest character in
+
the this FIFO.
+
 
+
The data byte to be transmitted is written in the register bits 0:7.
+
 
+
While accessing this register, the DLAB bit in LCR must be zero.
+
 
+
====DLL ( Divisor Latch LSB register ) and DLM ( Divisor Latch MSB register )====
+
The DLL and DLM registers together form a 16-bit divisor where DLL contains the lower 8 bits of the
+
divisor and DLM contains the higher 8 bits of the divisor.
+
 
+
This holds the value used for UART baud rate generation.
+
 
+
While accessing this any of these registers, the DLAB bit in LCR must be one.
+
 
+
====FCR ( FIFO Control Register )====
+
This register controls the operation of the UART Rx and TX FIFOs.

'''Bit 0 - RDR : Receiver Data Ready'''
+
 
+
It gives the status of UART Rx FIFO.

'''Bit 1 - OV : Overrun Error'''
+
'''Bit 2 - PE : Parity Error'''
+
'''Bit 3 - FE : Framing Error'''
+
'''Bit 4 - BI : Break Interrupt'''
+
 
+
All of above bits gives respective status.

Let's make a Decimal Counter with UART .
+
 
+
Initialize the UART0 with 9600 baud-rate.
+
 
+
Display the initial message and go on displaying incremented count taking some pause.
+
 
+
To know more about UART library, [[UART|check this]].

uint16_t cnt=0;

UART_Init(UART0,9600);
+
 
+
UART_Printf("5digit decimal counter: ");
+
 
+
/* Transmit the counter till 9999 */
+
while(cnt < 9999)
+
{
+
/* Transmit the 4-digit counter value and go to next line */
+
UART_Printf("\n\r%4u",cnt);

/* Increment the counter value after 1-sec */

DELAY_sec(1);

cnt++;
