UART problem with AT90S8515

I'm having problems using the UART on my AT90S8515. I want to send ASCI characters from AT90S8515 to the PC. I am using STK200 and AVR GCC with library AVRlib from Procyon. I am using the function "void uartSendByte (u08 txData)" to send one byte. The problem is that I get wrong byte in the PC. I use hyperterminal in windows. I have set hyperterminal to 9600 baud, 2 stop bits and no parity. I don't know how to set these parameters on the AVR.

The code for the AT90S8515 looks like this.

#include #include #include

#include "global.h" #include "uart.h" #include "rprintf.h"

int main(void) { uartInit(); uartSetBaudRate(9600); uartSendByte(10);

return 0; }

When AT90S8515 sends 10 to the PC i get something else.

Be sure to RTFM regarding that third-party library function. And not just that single function, either.

Well, what *do* you get, then? The less details you give, the harder it gets for anybody trying to help you.

2 stop bits is quite unusual. The usual mainstream setting is "8N1

--- 8 bit, no parity, one stop bit". Are you sure you need 2?

Then find out. Or use a scope to see what the AVR does send, in the state you get without setting any of these explicitly...

10 is '\n', i.e. the ASCII Linefeed character --- hardly a good choice for a test, because there are additional complication regarding it, like CRLF LF translation in various stages of the process. Better start out with a simple letter, e.g. 0x55 = 85 = 'U'.

Did you remember to put the processor clock speed in? You need to tell the compiler the crystal speed so that it can calculate the correct baud rate.
