A SERCOM can be configured in USART, SPI or I2C mode

USART Mode

This section provides interface to use the SERCOM peripheral in USART mode. The SERCOM USART PLIB can be configured in blocking, non-blocking or ring buffer mode.

Blocking mode

In blocking mode, the transfer APIs block until the requested data is transferred.

Non-blocking mode

In non-blocking mode the peripheral interrupt is enabled. The transfer API initiates the transfer and returns immediately. The transfer is then completed from the peripheral interrupt. Application can either use a callback to get notified when the transfer is complete or can use the IsBusy API to check the completion status.

Ring buffer mode

In ring buffer mode, the receiver is always enabled, and the received data is saved in the internal receive ring buffer, size of which can be configured using MHC. The application can use the API calls to read the data out from the ring buffer. APIs are provided to query the number of (unread) bytes available in the receive buffer, free space in the receive buffer and size of the receive buffer. Similarly, during transmission, the application data is deep copied into the internal transmit ring buffer, size of which can be configured using MHC. This allows the use of local buffers for data transmission. APIs are provided to query the free space in the transmit buffer, number of bytes pending transmission and the size of the transmit buffer. Additionally, application can enable notifications to get notified when n bytes are available in the receive buffer or when n bytes of free space is available in the transmit buffer. The APIs allow application to set the threshold levels for notification in both receive and transmit buffers. Further, application can also choose to enable persistent notifications, whereby the application is notified until the threshold condition is met.

In all the modes, library provides API to change the baud, parity, data width and the number of stop bits at run time.

SPI Mode

This section provides interface to use the SERCOM peripheral in SPI mode. The SERCOM SPI PLIB can be configured in master or slave mode.

SPI master mode

In SPI master mode, the PLIB can be configured to run in blocking mode or non-blocking mode. In blocking mode the peripheral interrupt is disabled and the transfer API blocks until the transfer is complete. In non-blocking mode, the peripheral interrupt is enabled. The transfer API initiates the transfer and returns immediately. The transfer is completed from the peripheral interrupt. Application can either use a callback to get notified when the transfer is complete or can use the IsBusy API to check the completion status.

SPI slave mode

SPI slave mode enables peripheral interrupt for data transfers. The PLIB uses internal receive and transmit buffers. The receive buffer is used to hold the data received from the SPI master while the application data to be transmitted out is copied into the transmit buffer. The size of the transmit and receive buffers is configurable in MHC. Application must register a callback with the PLIB to receive event notifications. A callback is given when the chip select is de-asserted by the SPI master. The application must read out the received data in the callback, thereby clearing the PLIB's internal RX buffer.

The PLIB optionally supports busy signalling from SPI slave to SPI master. This option can be enabled to provide an indication to the SPI master on when the SPI slave will be ready to respond. In a typical implementation, to read data from SPI slave, the SPI master asserts the chip select line and then sends a SPI packet informing the slave about the memory address to read from and the number of bytes to read and then de-asserts the chip select line. The SPI master must then wait for the SPI slave to frame the response by waiting on the busy line. Once the SPI slave drives the busy signal to ready state, the SPI master can start reading the actual data by asserting the chip select line and sending dummy writes for the number of bytes to read. Finally, after the intended bytes are read, the chip select must be de-asserted by the SPI master.

If the busy signalling is not enabled, the SPI master must wait for sufficient duration to allow the SPI slave to become ready with the response.

SPI Master in blocking (peripheral interrupt disabled) mode

// Following code demonstrates SPI self loopback with the PLIB configured in blocking mode
uint8_t txData[]  = "SELF LOOPBACK FOR SPI!";
uint8_t rxData[sizeof(txData)];

int main ( void )
{
    /* Initialize all modules */
    SYS_Initialize ( NULL );
               
    /* SPI Write Read */
    SERCOM0_SPI_WriteRead(&txData[0], sizeof(txData), &rxData[0], sizeof(rxData));

    /* Compare received data with the transmitted data */
    if ((memcmp(txData, rxData, sizeof(txData)) == 0))
    {
        /* Pass: Received data is same as transmitted data */        
    }
    else
    {       
        /* Fail: Received data is not same as transmitted data */
    }

    while ( true )
    { 	
    }

    /* Execution should not come here during normal operation */

    return ( EXIT_FAILURE );
}

SPI Master in non-blocking (peripheral interrupt enabled) mode

// Following code demonstrates SPI self loopback with the PLIB configured in non-blocking mode

uint8_t txData[]  = "SELF LOOPBACK FOR SPI!";
uint8_t rxData[sizeof(txData)];
volatile bool transferStatus = false;

/* This function will be called by SPI PLIB when transfer is completed */
void APP_SPI_Callback(uintptr_t context )
{
    transferStatus = true;
}

int main ( void )
{
    /* Initialize all modules */
    SYS_Initialize ( NULL );

    /* Register callback function   */
    SERCOM0_SPI_CallbackRegister(APP_SPI_Callback, 0);
   
    /* SPI Write Read */
    SERCOM0_SPI_WriteRead(&txData[0], sizeof(txData), &rxData[0], sizeof(rxData));
	
	while (1)
	{
		/* Perform other tasks here ...*/
		
		/* Check if transfer has completed */
		if(transferStatus == true)
		{
			/* Compare received data with the transmitted data */
			if(memcmp(txData, rxData, sizeof(txData)) == 0)
			{
				/* Pass: Received data is same as transmitted data */		
			}
			else
			{   
				/* Fail: Received data is not same as transmitted data */		
			}   
		}		        
	}
    
}

SPI slave mode

This example uses the SERCOM SPI peripheral library in slave mode and allows reading and writing data from/to its internal buffer by a SPI master. The SPI master writes data by sending a write command followed by two bytes of memory address followed by the data to be written.

< WR_CMD > < ADDR_MSB > < ADDR_LSB > < DATA0 > ... < DATA n >

The SPI slave asserts the Busy line to indicate to the SPI master that it is busy. Once ready, the SPI slave de-asserts the Busy line. Once the SPI slave is ready, the SPI master reads the data by sending read command followed by two bytes of memory address and the number of bytes to read.

< RD_CMD > < ADDR_MSB > < ADDR_LSB > < NUM_BYTES >

The SPI slave responds by sending the data at the requested memory address.

I2C Mode

This section provides interface to use the SERCOM peripheral in I2C mode. The SERCOM I2C PLIB can be configured in master or slave mode.

I2C master mode The SERCOM I2C peripheral library supports the following I2C transfers:

Master Write: The master writes a block of data to the slave Master Read: The master reads a block of data from the slave Master Write/Read: The master writes and then reads back a block of data from slave.

The block of data is transferred in a non-blocking manner using a peripheral interrupt. Application can either use a callback or IsBusy API to check for completion of data transfer.

I2C slave mode

I2C slave PLIB can be configured with peripheral interrupt enabled or disabled. When peripheral interrupt is enabled, application must register a callback, to get notified of the I2C events such as address match, transmitter ready, receiver ready etc. When peripheral interrupt is disabled, PLIB provides APIs to read the interrupt status flags. Application can call this API to determine the I2C event and then use the ReadByte/WriteByte APIs to read/write over the I2C bus.

I2C Master mode

// Following code demonstrates I2C write operation using polling method

#define APP_SLAVE_ADDR 0x0057
#define NUM_BYTES      10

uint8_t myWriteData [NUM_BYTES] = {'1', '0', ' ', 'B', 'Y', 'T', 'E', 'S', '!', '!',};

I2C Slave mode

This example uses the I2C peripheral library in slave mode and emulates an EEPROM of 512 bytes. There are two pages each of size 256 bytes. I2C slave expects two bytes of memory address from the I2C master and the memory address can range from 0x00 to 0x1FF.
