Microcontroller Texas Instruments MSP430F449 to Telit GPRS GM862 connection problems

Hi everybody,


I connected my MSP430F449 controller to GPRS GM862 over the RS232 serial port. I want to send AT<cr> command, and to read response OK (in fact, it responses <cr><lf>OK<cr><lf>). However, I receive only one character, the one I sent the last (and that is <cr>).

Here is the code. Where did I wrong?

It enters the interrupt routine only once... Please, help! Thanks!


------------------------------------------------------------

#include "io430.h"
#include "in430.h"

#include<string.h>
#include<stdio.h>

unsigned char d;
int b;

int main( void )
{
// Stop watchdog timer to prevent time out reset
WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD;

P2SEL |= 0x30;
ME1 |= URXE0+UTXE0;
U0CTL = 0x10;
U0TCTL = 0x30;
U0BR0 = 0x6D;
U0BR1 = 0x00;
U0MCTL = 0x0040;
IE1 = 0x40;
_EINT();

b = 0;

while(!IFG1&UTXIFG0);
U0TXBUF = 'A';
while(!IFG1&UTXIFG0);
U0TXBUF = 'T';
while(!IFG1&UTXIFG0);
U0TXBUF = 0x0D;
while(!IFG1&UTXIFG0);

while(1)
{ }

}

#pragma vector = UART0RX_VECTOR
__interrupt void uart0RxHandler (void)
{
d = U0RXBUF;
b++;
}

Well you probably need to do more in your ISR than just read the data.

It seems to me that you also need to figure out what "IRQ-ACK" (Interrupt Acknowledge) is also required for that particular device. Until you do this, it won't inform you of any more characters.

Also, modern UART's come with buffers, so you might need to check whether there is more data in the buffer.

Hi, thanks for answering!

The problem was ECHO. GPRS immediately returned back every char I sent him. When I turned ECHO off, he started to accept all my commands.

Thank you again!
