14.5 Framing Error Detection
A Frame Error occurs when a valid stop bit is not detected. This could indicate incorrect serial data
communication. Typically the frame error is due to noise and contention on the serial communication
line. The W77E058 has the facility to detect such framing errors and set a flag which can be checked
by software.
The Frame Error FE(FE_1) bit is located in SCON.7(SCON1.7). This bit is normally used as SM0 in
the standard 8051 family. However, in the W77E058 it serves a dual function and is called SM0/FE
(SM0_1/FE_1). There are actually two separate flags, one for SM0 and the other for FE. The flag that
is actually accessed as SCON.7(SCON1.7) is determined by SMOD0 (PCON.6) bit. When SMOD0 is
set to 1, then the FE flag is indicated in SM0/FE. When SMOD0 is set to 0, then the SM0 flag is
indicated in SM0/FE.
The FE bit is set to 1 by hardware but must be cleared by software. Note that SMOD0 must be 1 while
reading or writing to FE or FE_1. If FE is set, then any following frames received without any error will
not clear the FE flag. The clearing has to be done by software.
14.6 Multiprocessor Communications
Multiprocessor communications makes use of the 9th data bit in modes 2 and 3. In the W77E058, the
RI flag is set only if the received byte corresponds to the Given or Broadcast address. This hardware
feature eliminates the software overhead required in checking every received address, and greatly
simplifies the software programmer task.
In the multiprocessor communication mode, the address bytes are distinguished from the data bytes
by transmitting the address with the 9th bit set high. When the master processor wants to transmit a
block of data to one of the slaves, it first sends out the address of the targeted slave (or slaves). All the
slave processors should have their SM2 bit set high when waiting for an address byte. This ensures
that they will be interrupted only by the reception of a address byte. The Automatic address recognition
feature ensures that only the addressed slave will be interrupted. The address comparison is done in
hardware not software.
The addressed slave clears the SM2 bit, thereby clearing the way to receive data bytes. With SM2 = 0,
the slave will be interrupted on the reception of every single complete frame of data. The unaddressed
slaves will be unaffected, as they will be still waiting for their address. In Mode 1, the 9th bit is the stop
bit, which is 1 in case of a valid frame. If SM2 is 1, then RI is set only if a valid frame is received and
the received byte matches the Given or Broadcast address.
The Master processor can selectively communicate with groups of slaves by using the Given Address.
All the slaves can be addressed together using the Broadcast Address. The addresses for each slave
are defined by the SADDR and SADEN SFRs. The slave address is an 8-bit value specified in the
SADDR SFR. The SADEN SFR is actually a mask for the byte value in SADDR. If a bit position in
