Intel® PXA26x Processor Family Developer’s Manual 17-29
Hardware UART

Note: When bit 0, 1, 2, or 3 is set, a Modem Status interrupt is genera ted if IER[MIE] is set.

17.5.14 Scratchpad Register (SPR)

The read/write Scratchpad Register has no effect on the UART. It is intended as a scratchpad

register for use by the programmer. It is included for 1655 0A compatibility. The SPR bit

definitions are shown in Table17-18.

CLEAR TO SEND:
Complement of the Clear to Send (nCTS) input. Equivalent to MCR[RTS] if
MCR[LOOP] is set.

3:1 N/A Reserved – Read as unknown and must be written as zero.
0RDCTS
DELTA CLEAR TO SE ND :
0 – No change in nCTS pin since last read of MSR
1 – nCTS pin has changed state
