Hi everyone!
I am working on porting the Conceptinetics DMX library to Arduino Due.
The library uses the USART/serial to pass data to a DMX shield.
My problem is that the USART commands are specifically written for AVR chips and the compiler generates errors related to the manipulation of USART control registers on Due.
Look at the #define of the library:

Initially, there is a problem with definitions. Due requires a different set of definitions surrounding the USART registers, which do not qualitatively match the AVR definitions.
Looking at the arduino due (Due) and mega (Mega) data sheets, we can see that the library uses pre-defined bit-index numbers to manipulate the 8-bit AVR registers. Example in pseudo code: register |= (1<<bitIndexNumber)
Arduino Due uses a different system to manipulate registers. The pre-defined numbers are not index numbers but numerical values. For example, on Mega and Uno we would write UCSR0B |= (1<<TXEN0); where TXEN0 is 3, the bit index number of TX enable on the register. On Due, the similar #define related to the register does not define the index number but the actual value (ex US_CR_TXEN is already equal to 1<<TXEN).
Is a command like UCSR0B |= (1<<TXEN0)
rewritten as usart->US_CR = US_CR_TXEN; on the Due?
I get "usart" not defined in this scope
and "US_CR" not defined in this scope errors when trying to compile this code.
How is this code successfully implemented in the usart.c file? (github usart.c link)
Where are these defined (ex US_CR, usart, US_IER)? I know that for example US_CR_TXEN is defined in the component_usart.h file but I get an error for the definition of US_CR alone. Why are these errors generated since all usart-related libraries are included?
Also, what does the number behind the register name (ex UCSR0B) represent in AVR?
More generally, how do I access the USART registers on Due? Moreover, how do I select which of Due's USARTs to use? (USART 0-3)

Please excuse my poor knowledge of technical terms or any silly mistakes since I am a beginner in microelectronics.
Thanks for any help
