SMB2: Freeport receive character
Special memory byte 2 is the Freeport receive character buffer. While in Freeport mode, the
CPU stores each character that the CPU receives in this byte for easy access by your
program.

SM address
Description
Receive_Char
SMB2
This byte contains each character that the CPU receives from Port 0 or Port 1 during
Freeport communication.
Note
Port 0 and Port 1 share SMB2 and SMB3
When the CPU receives a character on Port 0, note the following:
•
The CPU executes the interrupt routine attached to that event (interrupt event 8).
•
SMB2 contains the character received on Port 0.
•
SMB3 contains the parity status of the received character.
Likewise, when the CPU receives a character on Port 1, note the following:
•
The CPU executes the interrupt routine attached to that event (interrupt event 25).
•
SMB2 contains the character received on Port 1.
•
SMB3 contains the parity status of the received character.
D.5
SMB3: Freeport character error
The CPU sets SM3.0 TRUE when Freeport communication detects a parity, framing, break,
or overrun error on a received character. Use this bit to discard the message.
