Hardware UART
5RTDRQ
TRANSMIT DATA REQUEST:
Indicates that the UART is ready to accept a new character for
transmission. In addition, this bit causes the UART to issue an interrupt to
the processor when the transmit data request interrupt enable is set high
and generates the DMA request to the DMA controller if DMA requests and
FIFO mode are enabled.
In non-FIFO mode – TDRQ is set when a character is transferred from the
Transmit Holding Register into the Transmit Shift Register. The bit is
cleared with the loading of the Transmit Holding Register.
In FIFO mode – TDRQ is set to 1 when half of the characters in the FIFO
have been loaded into the shift register if FCR[TIL] = 0, or the FIFO is
empty and FCR[TIL] = 1, or the RESETTF bit in FCR has been set. It is
cleared when the FIFO has more data than required by FCR[TIL].
If more than 64 characters are loaded into the FIFO, the excess characters
are lost.
0 – There is data in holding register or FIFO waiting to be shifted out
1 – Transmit FIFO has half or less than half data (FCR[TIL] = 0), or the
transmit FIFO is empty (FCR[TIL] = 1), or the UART is waiting for data
(non-FIFO mode)
4RBI
BREAK INTERRUPT:
BI is set when the received data input is held low for longer than a full word
transmission time (that is, the total time of Start bit + data bits + parity bit +
stop bits). The Break indicator is reset when the processor reads the LSR.
In FIFO mode, only one character equal to 0x00, is loaded into the FIFO
regardless of the length of the break condition. BI shows the break
condition for the character at the front of the FIFO, not the most recently
received character.
0 – No break signal has been received
1 – Break signal received
3RFE
FRAMING ERROR:
FE indicates that the received character did not have a valid stop bit. FE is
set when the bit following the last data bit or parity bit is detected to be 0. If
the LCR had been set for two stop bit mode, the receiver does not check for
a valid second stop bit. The FE indicator is reset when the processor reads
the LSR. The UART will resynchronize after a framing error. To do this it
assumes that the framing error was due to the next start bit, so it samples
this “start” bit twice and then reads in the “data”. In FIFO mode, FE shows a
framing error for the character at the front of the FIFO, not for the most
recently received character.
0 – No Framing error
1 – Invalid stop bit has been detected
