Chapter 12: LPC13xx UART
12.6.10 UART Modem Status Register
The U0MSR is a read-only register that provides status information on the modem input
signals. U0MSR[3:0] is cleared on U0MSR read. Note that modem signals have no direct
effect on the UART operation. They facilitate the software implementation of modem
signal operations.
12.6.11 UART Scratch Pad Register (U0SCR - 0x4000 801C)
The U0SCR has no effect on the UART operation. This register can be written and/or read
at user’s discretion. There is no provision in the interrupt interface that would indicate to
the host that a read or write of the U0SCR has occurred.
