CMSIS UART driver for Tiva launchpad - cortex-m3

Question

I'm trying to make the CMSIS UART driver example work on my Tiva launchpad: https://www.keil.com/pack/doc/CMSIS/Driver/html/group__usart__interface__gr.html
My code is the following:
#include "Driver_USART.h"
#include <cmsis_os.h> /* ARM::CMSIS:RTOS:Keil RTX */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
/* USART Driver */
extern ARM_DRIVER_USART Driver_UART0;
void myUART_Thread(void const *argument);
osThreadId tid_myUART_Thread;
void myUSART_callback(uint32_t event)
{
switch (event)
{
case ARM_USART_EVENT_RECEIVE_COMPLETE:
case ARM_USART_EVENT_TRANSFER_COMPLETE:
case ARM_USART_EVENT_SEND_COMPLETE:
case ARM_USART_EVENT_TX_COMPLETE:
/* Success: Wakeup Thread */
osSignalSet(tid_myUART_Thread, 0x01);
break;
case ARM_USART_EVENT_RX_TIMEOUT:
__breakpoint(0); /* Error: Call debugger or replace with custom error handling */
break;
case ARM_USART_EVENT_RX_OVERFLOW:
case ARM_USART_EVENT_TX_UNDERFLOW:
__breakpoint(0); /* Error: Call debugger or replace with custom error handling */
break;
}
}
/* CMSIS-RTOS Thread - UART command thread */
void myUART_Thread(const void* args)
{ // static ARM_DRIVER_USART * USARTdrv = &Driver_UART0;
ARM_DRIVER_VERSION version;
ARM_USART_CAPABILITIES drv_capabilities;
char cmd;
/*Initialize the USART driver */
Driver_UART0.Initialize(myUSART_callback);
/*Power up the USART peripheral */
Driver_UART0.PowerControl(ARM_POWER_FULL);
/*Configure the USART to 4800 Bits/sec */
Driver_UART0.Control(ARM_USART_MODE_ASYNCHRONOUS |
ARM_USART_DATA_BITS_8 |
ARM_USART_PARITY_NONE |
ARM_USART_STOP_BITS_1 |
ARM_USART_FLOW_CONTROL_NONE, 4800);
/* Enable Receiver and Transmitter lines */
Driver_UART0.Control (ARM_USART_CONTROL_TX, 1);
Driver_UART0.Control (ARM_USART_CONTROL_RX, 1);
Driver_UART0.Send("\nPress Enter to receive a message", 34);
osSignalWait(0x01, osWaitForever);
while (1)
{
Driver_UART0.Receive(&cmd, 1); /* Get byte from UART */
osSignalWait(0x01, osWaitForever);
if (cmd == 13) /* CR, send greeting */
{
Driver_UART0.Send("\nHello World!", 12);
osSignalWait(0x01, osWaitForever);
}
}
}
int main(void){
osKernelInitialize (); // initialize CMSIS-RTOS
osKernelStart (); // start thread execution
}
Now I don't expect it to work right away, however my builder starts complaining at the linkig phase that Driver_UART0 is undefined:
.\Objects\bl.axf: Error: L6218E: Undefined symbol Driver_UART0 (referred from blinky.o).
Any idea what I could do to fix this?
Thank you,
Botond

Unfortunately TI doesn't support the CMSIS Driver API at this time. I've have been working on creating this API on my own and have a working example in my GitHub repository:
This is the example:
https://github.com/AllAboutEE/ARM-Programming-Examples-TM4C/blob/master/CMSIS-Driver-Examples/UART-CMSIS-Driver/main.c
You'll have to set your include path in project options to this folder:
https://github.com/AllAboutEE/ARM-Programming-Examples-TM4C/tree/master/inc
Also add the files in this folder to your project:
https://github.com/AllAboutEE/ARM-Programming-Examples-TM4C/tree/master/src
and also this file
https://github.com/AllAboutEE/ARM-Programming-Examples-TM4C/blob/master/startup_LM4F.s
