4.8 UARTn Line Status Register (U0LSR - 0xE000 C014, U2LSR -
0xE007 8014, U3LSR - 0xE007 C014, Read Only)
The UnLSR is a read-only register that provides status information on the UARTn TX and
RX blocks.
Table 386. UARTn Line Control Register (U0LCR - address 0xE000 C00C,
U2LCR - 0xE007 800C, U3LCR - 0xE007 C00C) bit description
Bit Symbol Value Description Reset
Value
1:0 Word Length
Select 00 5 bit character length 0
01 6 bit character length
10 7 bit character length
11 8 bit character length
2 Stop Bit Select 0 1 stop bit. 0
1 2 stop bits (1.5 if UnLCR[1:0]=00).
3 Parity Enable 0 Disable parity generation and checking. 0
1 Enable parity generation and checking.
5:4 Parity Select 00 Odd parity. Number of 1s in the transmitted character and
the attached parity bit will be odd. 0
01 Even Parity. Number of 1s in the transmitted character and
the attached parity bit will be even.
10 Forced "1" stick parity.
11 Forced "0" stick parity.
6 Break Control 0 Disable break transmission. 0
1 Enable break transmission. Output pin UART0 TXD is
forced to logic 0 when UnLCR[6] is active high.
7 Divisor Latch
Access Bit
(DLAB) 0 Disable access to Divisor Latches. 0
1 Enable access to Divisor Latches.

Bit Symbol Value Description Reset
Value
0 Receiver
Data Ready
(RDR)
0
UnLSR0 is set when the UnRBR holds an unread character
and is cleared when the UARTn RBR FIFO is empty. 0
UnRBR is empty.
1 UnRBR contains valid data.
1 Overrun Error
(OE)
0
The overrun error condition is set as soon as it occurs. An
UnLSR read clears UnLSR1. UnLSR1 is set when UARTn
RSR has a new character assembled and the UARTn RBR
FIFO is full. In this case, the UARTn RBR FIFO will not be
overwritten and the character in the UARTn RSR will be lost. 0
Overrun error status is inactive.
1 Overrun error status is active.
