UART interrupt example

[dzabakh]

Hello everyone!

I am facing a problem while working with a project on Zybo. I have UART1 input (the input connected with microUSB port) enabled in my project and I want to make a simple user interface in a standalone application.

I have already found several examples of such applications but the thing is that I don't want the program to continuously examine the input - I want the processor to get an interrupt every time the user makes an input.

Is there any example of how this has to be done?

Thank you in advance.

The PS UART does have interrupt capabilities. Have you seen the UART interrupt example provided by Xilinx? I believe it will answer your questions. You can also find the controller's specifications in the Zynq reference manual page 583.
