BIOS Serial Data Transmission Guide

This document discusses BIOS interrupt service 14h for serial data transmission. It describes how interrupts work using the INT x86 instruction. Interrupt 14h contains routines for initializing the serial port and transmitting, receiving, and getting the status of transmitted data. The routines require loading specific function codes into the AH register and parameters into other registers before calling interrupt 14h. Sample code is provided to initialize the serial port and transmit or receive a string of characters to/from COM1 using interrupt 14h.

Serial Data Transmission INT
Service (INT 14 h)

o Initialization of interrupt

Invoking an interrupt can be done using the INT


x86 assembly instruction. For example, to execute any
function using BIOS interrupt 14h we perform the
following x86 assembly instructions:

mov ah, ‘function code’


mov al, '!'
int 14h
Routines for communicating via the
serial port.

CODE DESCRIPTION
00h Serial Port Initialization
01h Transmit Character
02h Receive Character
03h Status

Note:- The code is loaded in AH.


Serial port Initialization
Function code (00h):
Setting parameters necessary for communication

Parameter
Bit Dec Hex  Description
0 1 01h  Word Size   10 = 7
1 2 02h                    11 = 8
 Stop Bits   0 = 1 stop bit
2 4 04h
                 1 = 2 stop bits
3 8 08h  Parity      00 = None
4 16 10h
                01 = Odd
                11 = Even

 Baud Rate   000 = 110 baud
6 64 40h
                  001 = 150 baud
                  010 = 300 baud
                  011 = 600 baud
7 128 80h
                  100 = 1200 baud
                  101 = 2400 baud
                  110 = 4800 baud
                  111 = 9600 baud
 

Serial port Initialization


Function code (00h)(conti)

o Accordingly the parameter is selected and loaded in AL


register

o The Function code is loaded in AH register


Data transmission
function code (01h)
oFunction code is loaded in AH register.

oThe character to be transmitted is loaded in AL


register
Data Receiver
Function code (02h)
o The AH register is loaded with function code 02h.

o After execution the received character is stored in


AL register.
Get Status
Function code (03h)
o Load AH with Function code 03h

o On execution ,the status of modem and RS-232


are loaded onto AX register
Get Status
Function code (03h) conti.
o BIOS Serial port Status , returned in AH

o BIOS Modem port Status , returned in AL
