10.4.11 Modem Status Register
This register provides the current state of the control lines from the modem or data set
(or a peripheral device emulating a modem) to the processor. In addition to this current
state information, four bits of the Modem Status register provide change information.
The 3:0 bits are set to a logic 1 when a control input from the modem changes state.
The bits are reset to a logic 0 when the processor writes ones to the bits of the Modem
Status Register.
Note: When bits 0, 1, 2, or 3 are set to logic 1, a Modem Status Interrupt is generated, if bit
3 of the Interrupt Enable Register is set.
2PE
Parity Error: PE indicates that the received data character does not have the
correct even or odd parity, as selected by the even parity select bit. The PE is
set to logic 1 upon detection of a parity error and is reset to logic 0 when the
processor reads the Line Status register. In FIFO mode, PE shows a parity error
for the character at the bottom of the FIFO, not the most recently received
character.
1OE
Overrun Error: In non-FIFO mode, OE indicates that the processor did not
read data the receiver buffer register before the next character was received.
The new character is lost. In FIFO mode, OE indicates that all 64 bytes of the
FIFO are full and the most recently received byte has been discarded.
The OE indicator is set to logic 1 upon detection of an overrun condition and
reset when the processor reads the Line Status register.
0DR
Data Ready: Bit 0 is set to logic 1 when a complete incoming character has
been received and transferred into the receiver buffer register or the FIFO.
In non-FIFO mode, DR is reset to 0 when the receive buffer is read. In FIFO
mode, DR is reset to a logic 0 if the FIFO is empty (last character has been read
from RBR) or the RESETRF bit is set in the FCR.
0 = No data has been received
1 = Data is available in RBR or the FIFO
