Data length and buffer pointer fields are described in Section 20.2, “SCC Buffer Descriptors (BDs).”
Although it is never modified by the CP, data length should be greater than zero. The CPM writes these
fields after it finishes sending the buffer.
23.14 BISYNC Event Register (SCCE)/BISYNC Mask Register (SCCM)
The BISYNC controller uses the SCC event register (SCCE) to report events recognized by the BISYNC
channel and to generate interrupts. When an event is recognized, the controller sets the corresponding
SCCE bit. Interrupts are enabled by setting, and masked by clearing, the equivalent bits in the BISYNC
mask register (SCCM). SCCE bits are reset by writing ones; writing zeros has no effect. Unmasked bits
must be reset before the CP negates the internal interrupt request signal.
7BR BCS reset. Determines whether transmitter BCS accumulation is reset before sending the data
buffer.
0 BCS accumulation is not reset.
1 BCS accumulation is reset before sending the data buffer.
8TD Trans mi t DL E.
0 No automatic DLE transmission can occur before the data buffer.
1 The transmitter sends a DLE character before sending the buffer, which saves writing the first
DLE to a separate buffer in transparent mode. See TR for information on control characters.
9TR Transparent mode.
0 The transmitter enters and stays in normal mode after sending the buffer. The transmitter
automatically inserts SYNCs if an underrun condition occurs.
1 The transmitter enters or stays in transparent mode after sending the buffer. It automatically
inserts DLE–SYNC pairs if an underrun occurs (the controller finishes a buffer with L = 0 and the
next BD is not available). It also checks all characters before sending them. If a DLE is detected,
another DLE is sent automatically. Insert a DLE or program the controller to insert one before
each control character. The transmitter calculates the CRC16 BCS even if PSMR[BCS] is
programmed to LRC. Initialize PTCRC to CRC16 before setting TR.
10 BBCS enable.
0 The buffer consists of characters that are excluded from BCS accumulation.
1 The buffer consists of characters that are included in BCS accumulation.
11–13 Reserved, should be cleared.
14 UN Underrun. Set when the BISYNC controller encounters a transmitter underrun error while sending
the associated data buffer. The CPM writes UN after it sends the associated buffer.
15 CT CTS lost. The CP sets CT when CTS is lost during message transmission after it sends the data
buffer.
