Description

EPS
R/W
0x0
UART Even Parity Select.
This bit has no effect when parity is disabled by the PEN bit.
0x0 = Odd parity is performed, which checks for an odd number of
1s.
0x1 = Even parity generation and checking is performed during
transmission and reception, which checks for an even number of 1s
in data and parity bits.
1
PEN
R/W
0x0
UART Parity Enable.
0x0 = Parity is disabled and no parity bit is added to the data frame.
0x1 = Parity checking and generation is enabled.
0
BRK
R/W
0x0
UART Send Break.
0x0 = Normal use.
0x1 = A Low level is continually output on the UnTx signal, after
completing transmission of the current character. For the proper
execution of the break command, software must set this bit for at
least two frames (character periods).
