SERIAL COMMUNICATION BASED ON
EMBEDDED SYSTEM

ABSTRACT
An embedded system is hidden electronic circuitry present in electronic
product. Embedded system is also called as dedicated controllers. Most of the
consumer electronics products are consists of embedded controller, memory
module and other useful peripherals depending on its application . The firmware
which is running on embedded platform has special architecture.

The software architecture is selected on the basis of nature of application and
system complexity. To establish a serial communication link between the PC
and the 8051. Serial communication is often used either to control or to receive
data from an embedded microprocessor. Serial communication is a form of I/O
in which the bits of a byte begin transferred appear one after the other in a timed
sequence on a single wire. Serial communication has become the standard for
intercomputer communication.


INTRODUCTION


Serial communication is a way enables different equipments to communicate
with their outside world. It is called serial because the data bits will be sent
in a serial way over a single line.

A personal computer has a serial port known as communication port or COM
Port used to connect a modem for example or any other device, there could
be more then one COM Port in a PC.


Serial ports are controlled by a special chip called UART (Universal
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter). Different applications use different
pins on the serial port and this basically depend of the functions required. If
you need to connect your PC for example to some other device by serial
port, then you have to read instruction manual for that device to know how
the pins on both sides must be connected and the setting required.

Advantages of serial communication


1. Transmission distance, serial link can send data to a remote device more
far then parallel link.

2. The cable connection of serial link is simpler then parallel link and uses
less number of wires.

3. Serial link is used also for Infrared communication, now many devices
such as laptops & printers can communicate via inferred link.

BASICS OF SERIAL COMMUNICATION



Communication methods

There are two methods for serial communication
1. Synchronous
2. Asynchronous.

Synchronous serial communication

In Synchronous serial communication the receiver must know when to read
the next bit coming from the sender, this can be achieved by sharing a clock
between sender and receiver.


Asynchronous serial communication

Asynchronous transmission allows data to be transmitted without the sender
having to send a clock signal to the receiver. Instead, special bits will be added
to each word in order to synchronize the sending and receiving of the data.



CONCLUSION

The serial communication is very simple to implement. It is collision free, no
data loss occurred and hence easy to use in slow speed microcontroller. The
routine developed for firmware to handle serial communication has optimum
code length which saves code memory. This has different rule for receiving and
transmission and hence in full duplex mode it has better speed. This serial
communication is suitable for small embedded applications.
