Uart example on the blackin 537 using labview embedded

[kjb1]

I am looking for a simple example using labview embedded for ADI blackfin processors to send and receive characters on the blackfin 537. Any info on how to do this will help me to get started.

Thanks

Ken,

Take a look at this example project:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1 Embedded\examples\lvemb\Blackfin\Protocol Drivers\UART echo.lep

This example demonstrates how to read and write data to the serial port using the Blackfin UART VIs.  The same task can also be completed with the Serial Compatibility VIs Located on the  Instrument Control palette.  When accessing the serial port programically, you must uncheck the "Redirect stdout to serial port" box in the advanced tab of the Build Options dialog.

Thanks Michael....I will take a look at it.....I am also looking for an example using the PPI port with a generic A/D converter on the blackfin.  Do you know where I may find an example of this?

Ken,

There is not an example for using the PPI port, but there is a Blackfin PPI palette with 7 PPI VIs. The API provided is very similar to  the UART VIs. How to use these VIs should be fairly easy to understand by looking at the documentation for them.

The PPI pallete is located at:
