TMS570LS3137: SCI Flags Register (SCIFLR) unspecified behaviors

Part Number: TMS570LS3137

In SPNU499C, Table 26-19. SCI Flags Register (SCIFLR) Field Descriptions, the effect of writing to several of the bits in this register is unclear. Specifically, the effect of writing either a 1 or a 0 to bits 12, 11 and 10 (RXWAKE, TX EMPTY and TXWAKE) is not specified. What values can I safely write to these bits when writing to this register?

  • Hello Hugh,

    RXWAKE and TXEMPTY are read only, writing to those2 bits have no effect. TXWAKE is used in multiprocessor mode. When the SCI is not used in a multiprocessor mode, software can consider all frames as data frames, so TXWAKE is not used.

    I just read the TRM. R/WC for RXWAKE, and R/W for TXEMPTY are not correct. We will correct them in next rev. Thanks
