Chapter 17: LPC24XX UART1
4.8 UART1 Modem Control Register (U1MCR - 0xE001 0010)
The U1MCR enables the modem loopback mode and controls the modem output signals.

00
Odd parity. Number of 1s in the transmitted character and the
attached parity bit will be odd.

Loopback
Mode

The modem loopback mode provides a mechanism to perform
diagnostic loopback testing. Serial data from the transmitter is
connected internally to serial input of the receiver. Input pin,
RXD1, has no effect on loopback and output pin, TXD1 is held in
marking state. The four modem inputs (CTS, DSR, RI and DCD)
are disconnected externally. Externally, the modem outputs (RTS,
DTR) are set inactive. Internally, the four modem outputs are
connected to the four modem inputs. As a result of these
connections, the upper four bits of the U1MSR will be driven by
the lower four bits of the U1MCR rather than the four modem
inputs in normal mode. This permits modem status interrupts to
be generated in loopback mode by writing the lower four bits of
U1MCR.
0
Disable modem loopback mode.
1
Enable modem loopback mode.
