Enhanced Universal Serial Communication Interface (eUSCI) – UART Mode
24.3.16 DMA Operation
In devices with a DMA controller, the eUSCI module can trigger DMA transfers when the transmit buffer
UCAxTXBUF is empty or when data was received in the UCAxRXBUF buffer. The DMA trigger signals
correspond to the UCTXIFG transmit interrupt flag and the UCRXIFG receive interrupt flag, respectively.
The interrupt functionality must be disabled for the selected DMA triggers with UCTXIE = 0 or
UCRXIE = 0.
A DMA read access to UCAxRXBUF has the same effects as a CPU (software) read: all error flags
(UCRXERR, UCFE, UCPE, UCOE, and UCBRK) are cleared after the read. Thus these errors might go
unnoticed.
