Receiving Frames with
9 Data Bits
If 9-bit characters are used (UCSZ=7) the ninth bit must be read from the RXB8 bit in UCSRB
before
reading the low bits from the UDR. This rule applies to the FE, DOR and UPE status
flags as well. Read status from UCSRA, then data from UDR. Reading the UDR I/O location will
change the state of the receive buffer FIFO and consequently the TXB8, FE, DOR, and UPE
bits, which all are stored in the FIFO, will change.
The following code example shows a simple USART receive function that handles both nine bit
characters and the status bits.
Assembly Code Example
USART_Receive:
;
Wait for data to be received

rjmp
USART_Receive
;
Get status and 9th bit, then data from buffer

If error, return -1
andi

breq
USART_ReceiveNoError
ldi
r17, HIGH(-1)
ldi
r16, LOW(-1)
USART_ReceiveNoError:
;
Filter the 9th bit, then return

C Code Example

/*
Wait for data to be received
*/
while
( !(UCSRA & (1<<RXC)) )

/*
Get status and 9th bit, then data
*/
/*

*/
status = UCSRA;
resh = UCSRB;
resl = UDR;
/*
If error, return -1
*/
if
( status & (1<<FE)|(1<<DOR)|(1<<UPE) )
return
-1;
/*
Filter the 9th bit, then return
*/
resh = (resh >> 1) & 0x01;
return
((resh << 8) | resl);
