+/* $Id:$
+
+1.23    25th July 2012
+
+    * LPC1768 code as was. This release includes "alpha" support for the LPC11U24
+
+1.22    19th April 2012
+
+    * http://mbed.org/forum/bugs-suggestions/topic/2936/
+    * Bug fix, protect important buffer pointers from IRQ corruption.
+      Credits: 
+        Anthony Wieser  http://mbed.org/users/WieserSoftwareLtd/ for the fix.
+        BlazeX http://mbed.org/users/BlazeX/ for the alert that a fix was needed!
+
+1.21    10 May 2011
+    
+    * http://mbed.org/forum/mbed/topic/2264
+    
+1.20    26 April 2011
+
+    * Bug fix, not blocking on transmit
+      by Erik Petrich, http://mbed.org/forum/bugs-suggestions/topic/2200
+      
+1.19    20 April 2011
+
+    * Fixed some doxygen comment bugs.
+    
+1.18    20 April 2011
+
+    * All callbacks now use MODSERIAL_callback (rather than Mbed's FunctionPointer[1] type)
+      to store and invoke it's callbacks. This allows MODSERIAL to pass a parameter
+      to callbacks. The function prototype is now void func(MODSERIAL_IRQ_INFO *q).
+    * Callbacks now pass a pointer to a MODSERIAL_IRQ_INFO class type.
+      This class holds a pointer to the MODSERIAL object that invoked the callback
+      thus freeing callbacks need to use the global variable of the original 
+      MODSERIAL instance.
+    * MODSERIAL_IRQ_INFO also declares public functions that are protected within MODSERIAL
+      thus allowing certain functions to be restricted to callback context only.
+    * New function MODSERIAL_IRQ_INFO::rxDiscardLastChar() allows an rxCallback function
+      to remove the character that was just placed into the RX buffer.
+    
+    [1] http://mbed.org/users/AjK/libraries/FPointer/latest/docs/
+
+1.17   08/Mar/2011
+       Fixed a memory leak in the DMA code.
+       
+1.16 - 12 Feb 2011
+    
+    * Missed one, doh!
+
+1.15 - 12 Feb 2011
+    
+    * Fixed some typos.
+    
+1.14 - 7 Feb 2011
+
+    * Fixed a bug in __putc() that caused the output buffer pointer to 
+      become corrupted.
+
+1.13 - 20/01/2011
+
+    * Added extra documentation.
+    * Fixed some typos.
+    
+1.12 - 20/01/2011
+
+    * Added new "autoDetectChar()" function. To use:-
+      1st: Add a callback to invoke when the char is detected:-        
+        .attach(&detectedChar, MODSERIAL::RxAutoDetect);
+      2nd: Send the char to detect.
+        .autoDectectChar('\n');
+      Whenever that char goes into the RX buffer your callback will be invoked.
+      Added example2.cpp to demo a simple messaging system using this auto feature.
+
+
+1.11 - 23/11/2010
+
+    * Fixed a minor issue with 1.10 missed an alteration of name change.
+    
+1.10 - 23/11/2010
+
+    * Rename the DMA callback from attach_dma_complete() to attach_dmaSendComplete()
+    
+1.9 - 23/11/2010
+
+    * Added support for DMA sending of characters. Required is
+      the MODDMA library module:-
+      http://mbed.org/users/AjK/libraries/MODDMA/latest
+      See example_dma.cpp for more information.
+      
+1.8 - 22/11/2010
+
+    * Added code so that if a buffer is set to zero length then
+      MODSERIAL defaults to just using the FIFO for that stream
+      thus making the library "fall back" to teh same operation
+      that the Mbed Serial library performs.
+    * Removed dmaSend() function that should have been removed 
+      at 1.7
+    
+1.7 - 21/11/2010
+
+    * Remove the DMA enum from MODSERIAL.h as it's not currently 
+      ready for release.
+    * Added page doxygen comments.
+
+1.6 - 21/11/2010
+
+   * Version 1.5 solved a blocking problem on putc() when called 
+     from another ISR. However, isr_tx() invokes a callback of it's
+     own when a byte is tranferred from TX buffer to TX FIFO. User
+     programs may interpret that as an IRQ callback. That's an ISR
+     call from within an existing ISR which is not good. So the 
+     TxIrq callback from isr_tx is now conditional. It will only
+     be called when isr_tx() is actually within it's own ISR and
+     not when called from alternate ISR handlers.
+     
+1.5 - 21/11/2010
+
+    * Calling putc() (or any derived function that uses it like
+      printf()) while inside an interrupt service routine can
+      cause the system to lock up if the TX buffer is full. This
+      is because bytes are only transferred from the TX buffer to
+      the TX FIFO via the TX ISR. If we are, say in an RX ISR already,
+      then the TX ISR will never trigger. The TX buffer stays full and
+      there is never space to putc() the byte. So, while putc() blocks
+      waiting for space it calls isr_tx() to ensure if TX FIFO space
+      becomes available it will move bytes from the TX buffer to TX
+      FIFO thus removing the blocking condition within putc().
+
+1.4 - 21/11/2010
+
+    * Removed all the new DMA code. I wish mbed.org had proper SVN
+      versioning, I'm use to working in HEAD and BRANCHES after I've
+      released a project. Getting bug reports in current releases
+      while trying to dev new code is hard to manage without source
+      control of some type!
+
+1.3 - 21/11/2010
+
+    * Fixed a macro problem with txIsBusy()
+    * Started adding code to use "block data" sending using DMA
+    * Removed #include "IOMACROS.h"
+    
+1.2 - 21/11/2010
+
+    * Removed unsed variables from flushBuffer()
+    * Fixed a bug where both RX AND TX fifos are cleared/reset 
+      when just TX OR RX should be cleared.
+    * Fixed a bug that cleared IIR when in fact it should be left
+      alone so that any pending interrupt after flush is handled.
+    * Merged setBase() into init() as it wasn't required anywhere else.
+    * Changed init() to enforce _uidx is set by Serial to define the _base
+      address of the Uart in use.
+        
+1.1 - 20/11/2010
+
+    * Added this file
+    * Removed cruft from GETC.cpp
+    * "teh" should be "the", why do my fingers do that?
+
+1.0 - 20/11/2010
+
+    * First release.

+ * <b>MODSERIAL</b> extends the Mbed library <a href="/handbook/Serial">Serial</a> to provide fully buffered

+ * Before using MODSERIAL users should be familar with Mbed's standard <a href="/handbook/Serial">Serial</a>
+ * library object. MODSERIAL is a direct "drop in" replacement for <a href="/handbook/Serial">Serial</a>. Where

+ * @image html /media/uploads/mbedofficial/serial_interfaces.png

+ *
+ * MODSERIAL pc(USBTX, USBRX); // tx, rx

+ * #include "mbed.h"

+     *  
+     * The Mbed standard <a href="/handbook/Serial">Serial</a> library object allows an interrupt callback
+     * to be made when a byte is received by the TX or RX UART hardware. MODSERIAL traps these interrupts
+     * to enable it's buffering system. However, after the byte has been received/sent under interrupt control, 
+     * MODSERIAL can callback a user function as a notification of the interrupt. Note, user code should not
+     * directly interact with the Uart hardware, MODSERIAL does that, instead, MODSERIAL API functions should
+     * be used.
+     *
+     * <b>Note</b>, a character is written out then, if there is room in the TX FIFO and the TX buffer is empty,
+     * putc() will put the character directly into THR (the output holding register). If the TX FIFO is full and 
+     * cannot accept the character, it is placed into the TX output buffer. The TX interrupts are then enabled
+     * so that when the TX FIFO empties, the TX buffer is then transferred to the THR FIFO. The TxIrq will ONLY 
+     * be activated when this transfer of a character from BUFFER to THR FIFO takes place. If your character 
+     * throughput is not high bandwidth, then the 16 byte TX FIFO may be enough and the TX output buffer may 
+     * never come into play.

+ * LPC17xx device use a 16 byte FIFO on both RX and TX channels. This means that
+ * when the TxEmpty callback is made, the TX buffer is empty, but that just means
+ * the "last few characters" were written to the TX FIFO. So although the TX
+ * buffer has gone empty, the Uart's transmit system is still sending any remaining
+ * characters from it's TX FIFO. If you want to be truely sure all the characters
+ * you have sent have left the Mbed then call txIsBusy(); This function will
+ * return true if characters are still being sent. If it returns false after
+ * the Tx buffer is empty then all your characters have been sent.
+ *
+ * In a similar way, when characters are received into the RX FIFO, the entire
+ * FIFO contents is moved to the RX buffer, assuming there is room left in the
+ * RX buffer. If there is not, any remaining characters are left in the RX FIFO
+ * and will be moved to the RX buffer on the next interrupt or when the running 
+ * program removes a character(s) from the RX buffer with the getc() method.

+    This example demostrates a simple "messaging" system. You can use it with
+    a terminal program to test it out or write a cusom C#/C++/VB/etc program
+    to read and write messages to or from the Mbed. The default baud rate in
+    this example is 115200.
+    
+    In this example, the LEDs are controlled and pins p21 to p24 are set as
+    InterruptIn and send messages out when their value changes.
+    
+    To use, hook up the MBed USB and open your fav terminal. All messages
+    end with the \n character, don't forget to hit carriage return!. 
+    As an example:-
+        
+        to switch on LED1 send LED1:1\n, off is LED1:0\n and toggle is LED1:2\n
+        to switch on LED2 send LED2:1\n, off is LED2:0\n and toggle is LED2:2\n
+        to switch on LED3 send LED3:1\n, off is LED3:0\n and toggle is LED3:2\n
+        to switch on LED4 send LED4:1\n, off is LED4:0\n and toggle is LED4:2\n
+        
+    When a pin change on p21 to p24 happens, a message is sent. As an example
+    when p21 goes low PIN21:0\n is sent, when goes high PIN21:1\n is sent.
+    
+    Note, the InterruptIn pins p21 to p24 are setup to have pullups. This means
+    they are high. To activate them use a wire to short the pin to 0volts.
+    
+    If you find that p21 to p24 sent a lot of on/off/on/off then it's probably
+    due to "bounce". If you are connecting a mechanical switch to a pin you
+    may prefer to use the PinDetect library rather than using InterruptIn.
+    @see http://mbed.org/users/AjK/libraries/PinDetect/latest
+    
+    One point you may notice. Incoming messages are processed via main()'s
+    while(1) loop whereas pin changes have their messages directly sent.
+    The reason for this is when MODSERIAL makes callbacks to your application
+    it is in "interrupt context". And one thing you want to avoid is spending
+    lots of CPU time in that context. So, the callback moves the message from
+    the input buffer to a local holding buffer and it then sets a bool flag
+    which tells main()'s while(1) loop to process that buffer. This means the 
+    time spent doing the real incoming message handing is within your program
+    and not within MODSERIAL's interrupt context. So you may ask, why not do
+    the same for out going messages? Well, because MODSERIAL output buffers
+    all your sent content then sending chars is very fast. MODSERIAL handles
+    all the nitty gritty bits for you. You can just send. This example uses
+    puts() to send the message. If you can, always try and use sprintf()+puts()
+    rathe than printf(), printf() is known to often screw things up when used
+    within an interrupt context. Better still, just use puts() and do away
+    with any of the crappy ?printf() calls if possible. But I found the code
+    below to work fine even at 115200baud.
