11 SERIAL PORT CONTROLLERS
The ADSP-BF535 processor has two identical synchronous serial ports, or
SPORTs. These support a variety of serial data communications protocols
and can provide a direct interconnection between processors in a multi-
processor system.
In this text, the naming conventions for registers and pins use a
lowercase
x
to represent a digit. In this chapter, for example, the
name
DTx
pins indicates
DT0
and
DT1
(corresponding to SPORT0
and SPORT1, respectively
).
The serial ports (SPORT0 and SPORT1) provide an I/O interface to a
wide variety of peripheral serial devices. SPORTs provide synchronous
serial data transfer only; the ADSP-BF535 processor provides asynchro-
nous RS-232 data transfer via the UARTs. Each SPORT is a full duplex
device, capable of simultaneous data transfer in both directions. Each
SPORT has one group of pins (data, clock, and frame sync) for transmit
and a second set of pins for receive. The receive and transmit functions are
programmed separately. The SPORTs can be programmed for bit rate,
frame sync, and bits per word by writing to memory-mapped registers.
Both SPORTs have the same capabilities and are programmed in the same
way. Each SPORT has its own set of control registers and data buffers.
The SPORTs use frame sync pulses to indicate the beginning of each word
or packet, and the bit clock marks the beginning of each data bit. External
bit clock and frame sync are available for the
TX
and
RX
buffers.
