Figure 8. Missed read of overflow condition
The first part of Figure 8 shows how to read the SPSCR and SPDR to
clear the SPRF without problems. However, as illustrated by the second
transmission example, the OVRF flag can be set in the interval between
SPSCR and SPDR being read.
In this case, an overflow can easily be missed. Since no more SPRF
interrupts can be generated until this OVRF is serviced, it will not be
obvious that bytes are being lost as more transmissions are completed.
To prevent this, the OVRF interrupt should be enabled, or alternatively
another read of the SPSCR should be carried out following the read of
the SPDR. This ensures that the OVRF was not set before the SPRF
was cleared and that future transmissions will terminate with an SPRF
interrupt. Figure 9 illustrates this process. Generally, to avoid this
second SPSCR read, enable the OVRF to the CPU by setting the ERRIE
bit.
