Description

 

 

 

 

 

D17

R/W

RXFLUSH

0

Resets the contents of the 64-byte RXFIFO.

 

 

 

 

Write a 1, then a 0 to reset the FIFO.

 

 

 

 

 

D16

R/W

TXFLUSH

N/A

Resets the contents of the 64-byte TX FIFO.

 

 

 

 

Write a 1, then a 0 to reset the FIFO.

 

 

 

 

 

D15:14

R

RXBYTES

00

Indicates how many bytes are pending in the wrapper.

 

 

 

 

The wrapper writes to the RX FIFO only when 4 bytes are

 

 

 

 

received or a buffer close event occurs, such as a

 

 

 

 

character gap timeout, character match, or error.

 

 

 

 

 

D13

R/W

RXCLOSE

0

Allows software to close a receive buffer. Hardware

 

 

 

 

clears this bit when the buffer has been closed.

 

 

 

 

0

Idle or buffer already closed

 

 

 

 

1

Software initiated buffer close

R/W

TXFLOW

010000

Selects which signals are routed to the UART for

 

 

 

 

hardware flow control. Transmit data is halted when the

 

 

 

 

selected signal is deasserted.

RL

0

Remote loopback

 

 

 

 

Provides an internal remote loopback feature. When the

 

 

 

 

RL field is set to 1, the receive serial data signal is

 

 

 

 

connected to the transmit serial data signal.

 

 

 

 

A local loopback is provided in the UART.

 

 

 

 

 

D04

R/W

0

RTS control

 

 

 

 

0

Controlled directly by UART
