Make any additional SMCMR changes.
3. Set SMCMR[REN, TEN]. The SMC is now enabled with the new protocol.
27.2.5
Saving Power
When SMCMR[TEN, REN] are cleared, the SMC consumes little power.
27.2.6
Handling Interrupts in the SMC
Follow these steps to handle an interrupt in the SMC:
1. Once an interrupt occurs, read SMCE to identify the interrupt source. The SMCE bits are usually
cleared at this time.
2. Process the TxBD to reuse it if SMCE[TXB] is set. Extract data from the RxBD if SMCE[RXB]
is set. To send another buffer, set TxBD[R].
3. Execute the rfi instruction.
27.3
SMC in UART Mode
SMCs generally offer less functionality and performance in UART mode than do SCCs, which makes them
more suitable for simpler debug/monitor ports instead of full-featured UARTs. SMCs do not support the
following features in UART mode.
•
RTS, CTS, and CD signals
•
Receive and transmit sections clocked at different rates
•
Fractional stop bits
•
Built-in multidrop modes
•
Freeze mode for implementing flow control
•
Isochronous (1
×
clock) operation (A 16
×
clock is required for UART operation.)
•
Interrupts on special control character reception
•
Ability to transmit data on demand using the TODR
•
SCCS register to determine idle status of the receive signal
•
Other features for the SCCs as described in the GSMR
However, SMCs allow a data length of up to 14 bits; SCCs support up to 8 bits.
