1, Serial communication protocol
1. Introduction
- Serial communication is a very common serial communication mode between devices. Because it is simple and convenient, most electronic devices support this communication mode. Electronic engineers often use this communication mode to output debugging information when debugging equipment.
- In computer science, most complex problems can be simplified by layering. For example, the chip is divided into core layer and on-chip peripherals; STM32
- The standard library is the software layer between registers and user code. We also understand the communication protocol in a hierarchical way. The most basic thing is to divide it into physical layer and protocol layer.
| name | Composition function |
|---|---|
| physical layer | It has the characteristics of mechanical and electronic functional parts to ensure the transmission of original data in physical media |
| protocol layer | Specify the communication logic and unify the data packaging and unpacking standards of both sending and receiving parties. |
- There are many standards and variants in the physical layer of serial communication. The following mainly explains the RS-232 standard
2.RS-232 standard
- RS-232 standard mainly specifies the purpose of signal, communication interface and signal level standard
Common communication structures between RS-232 standard serial port devices:
It can be seen from the figure that the two communication devices are connected through DB9 interface and use RS-232 standard for signal transmission.
- Then why do you need a level conversion chip?
The reason is very simple, because the controller cannot directly recognize the signal of RS-232 level standard, so the signal can only be converted into the level signal of "TTL standard" recognized by the controller through "level conversion chip". Next, what is the difference between the level of "RS232 standard" and "TTL standard"
(1) Difference between RS232 level and TTL level
- According to different level standards used in communication, serial communication can be divided into TTL standard and RS-232 standard
| Standard name | Logic 1 | Logic 0 |
|---|---|---|
| TLL | 2.4V~5V | 0~0.5V |
| RS-232 | -15V~3V | +3V~+15V |
It is not difficult to see from the table that the logic voltages divided by the two standards are different. TTL level standard is often used in electronic circuits. Ideally, 5V is used to represent binary logic 1 and 0V is used to represent logic 0; In order to increase the long-distance transmission and anti-interference ability of serial communication, it uses - 15V to represent logic 1 and + 15V to represent logic 0
- The following figure shows the comparison when RS232 and TTL level calibration are used to represent the same signal
(2) RS-232 signal line
- RS-232 serial port standard is commonly used for communication between computer, routing and modulation (MODEN, commonly known as "cat"). In this communication system, the equipment is divided into Data Terminal Equipment DTE (computer, routing) and Data Communication Equipment DCE (modem)
- Desktop computers generally have RS-232 standard COM port (also known as DB9 interface), in which the pin type outgoing signal line is called the male head, and the hole type outgoing signal line is called the female head. The male connector is generally led out in the computer, while the female connector is generally led out in the modem equipment. It can be connected with the computer by using the serial port cable in the figure above. During communication, the signal transmitted in the serial port line is modulated using the RS-232 standard explained above.
- The following describes the names and basic functions of each interface
| name | Symbol | Data direction | explain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrier detection | DCD | DTE→DCE | It is used for DTE to inform the other party whether the machine has received the carrier signal of the other party |
| receive data | RXD | DTE←DCE | Data receiving signal, i.e. input |
| send data | TXD | DTE→DCE | Data transmission signal, i.e. output |
| Data terminal | DTR | DTE→DCE | Used by DTE to inform the other party whether the machine is ready |
| Signally | GND | The ground potential between the two communication devices may be different, which will affect the level signal of the transceiver. Therefore, the ground connection must be used between the two serial port devices, that is, common ground | |
| Data equipment | DSR | DTE←DCE | It is used by DCE to inform the other party whether the machine is in standby state |
| Request send | RTS | DTE→DCE | DTE requests DCE to send data to DCE |
| Allow sending | CTS | DTE←DCE | DCE responds to the RTS sending request of the other party and tells the other party whether it can send data |
| Ring indicate | RI | DTE←DCE | Indicates that the DCE terminal and the line have been connected |
Note: the TXD and RXD between the two devices should be cross connected
2, USB to serial port
1. Basic working principle
USB to serial port is to realize the conversion from computer USB interface to physical serial port. You can add serial ports for computers or other USB hosts without serial ports. Using USB to serial port devices is equivalent to turning the traditional serial port devices into plug and play USB devices.
After the USB host detects that the USB to serial port device is inserted, it will first reset the device, and then start the USB enumeration process. During USB enumeration, device descriptors, configuration descriptors, interface descriptors, etc. will be obtained. The descriptor will contain the manufacturer ID, device ID and Class class of the USB device. The operating system will match the corresponding USB device driver for the device according to this information.
The realization of USB virtual serial port depends on the USB to serial port driver in the system, which is generally directly provided by the manufacturer. The CDC serial port driver of the operating system can also be used. The driver is mainly divided into two functions. One is to register the USB device driver to complete the control and data communication of the USB device. The other is to register the serial port driver to provide the corresponding implementation method for the serial port application layer.
List of drive data flows corresponding to serial port transceiver:
| Occurrence or reception | Data flow direction |
|---|---|
| Serial port transmission | Serial port application sends data → USB serial port driver obtains data → driver sends data to USB serial port device through USB channel → USB serial port device receives data and sends it through serial port |
| Serial port receiving | The USB serial port device receives the serial port data → packages the serial port data through USB and uploads it to the USB host → the USB serial port driver obtains the serial port data uploaded through USB → the driver saves the data in the serial port buffer and provides it to the serial port application for reading |

3, Instance
1. Example description
Complete a USART serial port communication program of STM32 (query mode is OK, interrupt mode is not required temporarily). Requirements:
-
Set the baud rate to 115200, 1 stop bit and no check bit;
-
STM32 system continuously sends "hello windows!" to the upper computer (win10). Win10 uses the "serial port assistant" tool to receive.
2. Example process
(1) Create project
- Open KEIL5 to create a new project, right-click source and add a new file
- Because it is an assembly language, you choose to create Asm files

4, Summary
This blog introduces the serial port protocol of STM32F103 single chip microcomputer, introduces the RS-232 standard, explains the reason why RSS-232 is converted to TLL and its principle, and compares the two levels. This paper expounds the basic principle of USB transfer serial port, takes CH340 module as an example, inputs Hello World to the host computer through the serial port, and applies the theoretical learning to practice, hoping to help readers. At the same time, it also hopes that readers can try to experiment by themselves. Only through the experiment can they really know and master knowledge. If there are deficiencies or omissions in the blog, I hope you can point out
