OR — Receiver Overrun Bit
This clearable, read-only bit is set when software fails to read the SCDR before
the receive shift register receives the next character. The OR bit generates an
ESCI error CPU interrupt request if the ORIE bit in SCC3 is also set. The data
in the shift register is lost, but the data already in the SCDR is not affected. Clear
the OR bit by reading SCS1 with OR set and then reading the SCDR. Reset
clears the OR bit.
1 = Receive shift register full and SCRF = 1
0 = No receiver overrun
Software latency may allow an overrun to occur between reads of SCS1 and
SCDR in the flag-clearing sequence. Figure 19-13 shows the normal
flag-clearing sequence and an example of an overrun caused by a delayed
flag-clearing sequence. The delayed read of SCDR does not clear the OR bit
because OR was not set when SCS1 was read. Byte 2 caused the overrun and
is lost. The next flag-clearing sequence reads byte 3 in the SCDR instead of
byte 2.
In applications that are subject to software latency or in which it is important to
know which byte is lost due to an overrun, the flag-clearing routine can check
the OR bit in a second read of SCS1 after reading the data register.
