Step 9: Start writing your code by modifying main.c and creating any .c and .h files as appropriate. #include <asf.h> #include <avr/io.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { board_init(); // initialize the DIY Board // TODO place your initialization code here while(1) { // Main Loop //TODO write your main loop code here } }

The first example will use GPIO pins to toggle external LEDs connected to pins PC0 & PC1 Import the IOPORT from the ASF Library In directory src/asf/xmega/drivers/ioport the system imports ioport.c and ioport.h In file ioport.h, after the macro:
#define IOPORT_CREATE_PIN(port, pin) ((PORT_##port) + (pin))

add the following macro (for convenience):

`

#define IOPORT_CREATE_ID(port) ((PORT_##port) / 8

If you wish to use GPIO functions, add the GPIO service from the ASF Library. The GPIO service requires ioport.h and most of the GPIO functions actually call the corresponding IOPORT functions in the ASF Library The second example uses the GPIO functions in lieu of the IOPORT functions

Type xmega usart into Google

The

first result is a nice 7-page document explaining EXACTLY how to set up the serial USART on the Xmega. The source code for this example is easily found on the internet.

USART

Here is the register summary for the USART. We can see that serial communication requires the use of 7 registers

1 for data 1 for status 3 for control 2 for baud rate

USART

The third example uses the USART functions in conjunction with the IOPORT functions
See project ASF_USART

If you wish to use Tims USART functions, then import uart.c and uart.h from Tims Software The ISR for the USART is uart.c and it can be modified as needed.
See project ASF_USART Change the include in main.c to <uart.h>
