SCC Transparent Mode

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 buffer pointer can be
even or odd and can reside in internal or external memory.
24.12 SCC Transparent Event Register (SCCE)/Mask Register (SCCM)
When the SCC is in transparent mode, the SCC event register (SCCE) functions as the transparent event
register to report events recognized by the transparent channel and to generate interrupts. When an event
is recognized, the transparent controller sets the corresponding SCCE bit. Interrupts are enabled by setting,
and masked by clearing, the equivalent bits in the transparent mask register (SCCM).
Event bits are reset by writing ones; writing zeros has no effect. All unmasked bits must be reset before
the CP clears the internal interrupt request to the SIU interrupt controller. Figure24-4 shows the event and
mask registers.
Table24-9 describes SCCE/SCCM fields.
6CM Continuous mode.
0 Normal operation.
1 The CPM does not clear TxBD[R] after this BD is closed, so the buffer is automatically resent
when the CPM accesses this BD next. However, TxBD[R] is cleared if an error occurs during
transmission, regardless of how CM is set.
7–13 Reserved, should be cleared.
14 UN Underrun. Set when the SCC encounters a transmitter underrun condition while sending the buffer.
15 CT CTS lost. Indicates the CTS was lost during frame transmission.

0–4 Reserved, should be cleared. Refer to note 1 below.
5 DCC DPLL CS changed. Set when the DPLL-generated carrier sense status changes (valid only when
the DPLL is used). Real-time status can be read in SCCS. This is not the CD status mentioned
elsewhere.
6–7 Reserved, should be cleared. Refer to note 1 below.
