I am having problems generating serial port (RI and TI) interrupts in an application that I have. I have two functions being running with Round Robin disabled. Both functions send signals to each other when the tasks need to switch. I've gone through the threads, and tried to follow the instructions given when other people had similar problems, but none of that is working for me. I am also using Timer 2 for Uart 0, and timer 1 for uart 1. Interrupt for both UARTs are enabled. I can only set the priorities for both interrupts as high. I tried doing this but it didn't seem to help. Any ideas, thoughts or suggestions?
You should not use identical function (putchar or printf) and identical variables and buffers of exchange for different tasks, It is necessary to use different functions putchar (puchar_to_uart_0, puchar_to_uart_1) for different UARTS. I modified SERIAL.C from example Traffic for Silabs C8051F12x with two UARTS:
