Construct UART Data Frame with Parity Bit

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

typedef struct {
    uint8_t parity_enable : 1;
    uint8_t parity_type   : 1;
    uint8_t reserved      : 6;
} UART_Control;

uint8_t create_uart_frame(uint8_t data, UART_Control *ctrl) {
    uint8_t frame = data & 0x7F;
    if(ctrl->parity_enable){
        uint8_t ones=0;
        for(int i =0; i<7;i++){
            if(data &(1<<i))
            {
                ones++;
            }
        }
    
    uint8_t parity_bit;
    if(ctrl->parity_type==0 )
    {
        parity_bit =(ones %2 != 0);
    }
    else
    {
        parity_bit = (ones %2 == 0);
    }
    frame = frame | (parity_bit <<7);
    }
    
    return frame;
}

int main() {
    uint8_t data;
    scanf("%hhu", &data);  // 7-bit input

    uint8_t parity_enable, parity_type;
    scanf("%hhu %hhu", &parity_enable, &parity_type);

    UART_Control ctrl;
    ctrl.parity_enable = parity_enable;
    ctrl.parity_type = parity_type;

    uint8_t frame = create_uart_frame(data, &ctrl);
    printf("frame = 0x%02X", frame);

    return 0;
}
