Module capsules_core::console

Provides userspace with access to a serial interface.

Setup

You need a device that provides the hil::uart::UART trait.

let console = static_init!(
    Console<usart::USART>,
    Console::new(&usart::USART0,
                 115200,
                 &mut console::WRITE_BUF,
                 &mut console::READ_BUF,
                 board_kernel.create_grant(&grant_cap)));
hil::uart::UART::set_client(&usart::USART0, console);

Usage

The user must perform three steps in order to write a buffer:

// (Optional) Set a callback to be invoked when the buffer has been written
subscribe(CONSOLE_DRIVER_NUM, 1, my_callback);
// Share the buffer from userspace with the driver
allow(CONSOLE_DRIVER_NUM, buffer, buffer_len_in_bytes);
// Initiate the transaction
command(CONSOLE_DRIVER_NUM, 1, len_to_write_in_bytes)

When the buffer has been written successfully, the buffer is released from the driver. Successive writes must call allow each time a buffer is to be written.
