NOTE

In addition to selecting the correct mode of operation in GFMRx[MODE],

the user must issue the appropriate CP command and choose the correct

protocol in CPCR (refer to Section 14.4.1, “CP Command Register

(CPCR)”).

29.3 FCC Protocol-Specific Mode Registers (FPSMR
x
)

The functionality of the FCC varies according to the protocol selected by GFMR[MODE]. Each FCC has

an additional 32-bit, memory-mapped, read/write protocol-specific mode register (FPSMR) that

configures them specifically for a chosen mode. The section for each specific protocol describes the

FPSMR bits.

26 ENR Enable receive. Enables the receiver hardware state machine for this FCC.
0 The receiver is disabled and any data in the receive FIFO buffer is lost. If ENR is cleared during
reception, the receiver aborts the current character.
1 The receiver is enabled.
ENR may be set or cleared regardless of whether serial clocks are present. Describes how to
disable and reenable an FCC. Note that the FCC provides other tools for controlling reception—the
ENTER HUNT MODE command, CLOSE RXBD command, and RxBD[E].
27 ENT Enable transmit. Enables the transmitter hardware state machine for this FCC.
0 The transmitter is disabled. If ENT is cleared during transmission, the transmitter aborts the
current character and TXD returns to idle state. Data in the transmit shift register is not sent.
1 The transmitter is enabled.
ENT can be set or cleared, regardless of whether serial clocks are present. See Section29.12,
“Disabling the FCCs On-the-Fly,” for a description of the proper methods to disable and reenable an
FCC. Note that the FCC provides other tools for controlling transmission besides the ENT bit—the
STOP TRANSMIT, GRACEFUL STOP TRANSMIT, and RESTART TRANSMIT commands, CTS flow control, and
TxBD[R].
