20.1.1 The General SCC Mode Registers (GSMR1–GSMR4)

Each SCC contains a general SCC mode register (GSMR) that defines options common to most of the

protocols. GSMR_L contains the low-order 32 bits; GSMR_H, shown in Figure 20-2, contains the

high-order 32 bits. Some GSMR operations are described in later sections.

Table20-1 describes GSMR_H f ields.

Bit Name Description
0–15 Reserved, should be cleared.
16–17 TCRC Transparent CRC (valid for totally transparent channel only). Selects the frame checking provided
on transparent channels of the SCC (either the receiver, transmitter, or both, as defined by TTX and
TRX). Although this configuration selects a frame check type, the decision to send the frame check
is made in the TxBD. Thus, frame checks are not needed in transparent mode and frame check
errors generated on the receiver can be ignored.
00 16-bit CCITT CRC (HDLC). (X16 + X12 + X5 + 1).
01 CRC16 (BISYNC). (X16 + X15 + X2 + 1).
10 32-bit CCITT CRC (Ethernet and HDLC).
(X32 + X26 + X23 + X22 + X16 + X12 + X11 + X10 + X8 + X7 + X5 + X4 + X2 + X1 + 1).
11 Reserved.
18 REVD Reverse data (valid for a totally transparent channel only)
0 Normal operation.
1 Reverses the bit order for totally transparent channels on this SCC (either the receiver,
transmitter, or both) and sends the msb of each byte first. Section23.11, “BISYNC Mode Register
(PSMR),” describes reversing bit order in a BISYNC protocol.
