Program Listing:

* This program also echo the character typed from the
HyperTerminal/Teraterm

/* Function Declaration */
void Init_Uart0(unsigned long BaudRate);

/* Main Program */

initialized with Baudrate=9600

Transmit single character using UART0
Uart0_String(" UART0 Demo Program \n\r");// Transmit String
using UART0
Uart0_String(" \n\r"); // Transmit
String using UART0

Teraterm \n\r");// Transmit String using UART0

Receive character from UART0 input from HyperTerminal or Teraterm

the same character received from HyperTerminal or Teraterm

Steps to create project and program compilation:

Steps:
 Open Eclipse.exe from “C:\eclipse” folder.
 Now browse to the ARM7 Workspace under E_Workspace (in this case
C:\E_Workspace\ARM7). Click OK to continue.
 Click File > Import…, to import template.
 Click General > Existing Projects into Workspace and click Next.
 First Select Root Directory of your Eclipse Template for ARM7. Then select “Copy
projects into workspace” check box and Click Finish.
 Every time you import a project make sure to rename it. So Right Click Project >
Rename or press F2 while selecting project to rename it.
 Go to File> New > Source File and you will see New Source File Wizard. Enter Source
File name (For example main.c) then Click Finish.
 Write your code and then save your Files.
 Copy necessary .c and .h files to your local project folder. They will be added to your
project in Eclipse IDE

Steps to use hardware:

 Connect 9V DC Power supply to the educational practice board for ARM7

 Connect the board with the USB port of the PC using the USB A to B type cable.
 Using the RUN/PROGRAM mode selection switch, set the board in the program
mode. This will be indicated by the red LED.
 Apply Reset condition by pressing the RESET switch to ensure proper
communication.
 Using download tool (Flash Magic) downloads the .HEX file to the target board.
 Connect the PL3 connector of EPB ARM7 board to PC.
 Open hyper terminal and set the baudrate.
 Using the RUN/PROGRAM mode selection switch, set the board in the run mode.
This will be indicated by the green LED and apply reset to execute the program.

Result:
String would be displayed on hyper terminal and character would be received from key board.
