[31:8] Reserved R 0x0
[7] Receiver FIFO Error bit (rfe)

This bit is only relevant when FIFO's are enabled (FCR[0] set to one). This is used to indicate if there is at least one parity error, framing error, or break indication in the FIFO. This bit is cleared when the LSR is read and the character with the error is at the top of the receiver FIFO and there are no subsequent errors in the FIFO.

R 0x0
[6] Transmitter Empty bit (temt)

If in FIFO mode and FIFO's enabled (FCR[0] set to one), this bit is set whenever the Transmitter Shift Register and the FIFO are both empty. If FIFO's are disabled, this bit is set whenever the Transmitter Holding Register and the Transmitter Shift Register are both empty. Indicator is cleared when new data is written into the THR or Transmit FIFO.

R 0x1
[5] Transmit Holding Register Empty bit (thre)

This bit indicates that the THR or Tx FIFO is empty. This bit is set when data is transferred from the THR or Tx FIFO to the transmitter shift register and no new data has been written to the THR or Tx FIFO. This also causes a THRE Interrupt to execute, if the THRE Interrupt is enabled.

R 0x1
[4] Break Interrupt (bi)

This is used to indicate the detection of a break sequence on the serial input data. Set whenever the serial input, sin, is held in a logic 0 state for longer than the sum of start time + data bits + parity + stop bits. A break condition on serial input causes one and only one character, consisting of all zeros, to be received by the UART. The character associated with the break condition is carried through the FIFO and is revealed when the character is at the top of the FIFO. This bit always stays in sync with the associated character in RBR. If the current associated character is read through RBR, this bit will be updated to be in sync with the next character in RBR. Reading the LSR clears the BI bit.

RC 0x0
[3] Framing Error (fe)

This is used to indicate the occurrence of a framing error in the receiver. A framing error occurs when the receiver does not detect a valid STOP bit in the received data. In the FIFO mode, since the framing error is associated with a character received, it is revealed when the character with the framing error is at the top of the FIFO. When a framing error occurs the UART will try to resynchronize. It does this by assuming that the error was due to the start bit of the next character and then continues receiving the other bit data, and/or parity and stop. It should be noted that the Framing Error (FE) bit(LSR[3]) will be set if a break interrupt has occurred, as indicated by a Break Interrupt BIT bit (LSR[4]). This bit always stays in sync with the associated character in RBR. If the current associated character is read through RBR, this bit will be updated to be in sync with the next character in RBR. Reading the LSR clears the FE bit.

RC 0x0
[2] Parity Error (pe)

This is used to indicate the occurrence of a parity error in the receiver if the Parity Enable (PEN) bit (LCR[3]) is set. Since the parity error is associated with a character received, it is revealed when the character with the parity error arrives at the top of the FIFO. It should be noted that the Parity Error (PE) bit (LSR[2]) will be set if a break interrupt has occurred, as indicated by Break Interrupt (BI) bit (LSR[4]). In this situation, the Parity Error bit is set depending on the combination of EPS (LCR[4]) and DLS (LCR[1:0]). This bit always stays in sync with the associated character in RBR. If the current associated character is read through RBR, this bit will be updated to be in sync with the next character in RBR. Reading the LSR clears the PE bit.

RC 0x0
[1] Overrun error bit (oe)

This is used to indicate the occurrence of an overrun error. This occurs if a new data character was received before the previous data was read. In the non-FIFO mode, the OE bit is set when a new character arrives in the receiver before the previous character was read from the RBR. When this happens, the data in the RBR is overwritten. In the FIFO mode, an overrun error occurs when the FIFO is full and new character arrives at the receiver. The data in the FIFO is retained and the data in the receive shift register is lost.Reading the LSR clears the OE bit.

RC 0x0
[0] Data Ready bit (dr)

This is used to indicate that the receiver contains at least one character in the RBR or the receiver FIFO. This bit is cleared when the RBR is read in the non-FIFO mode, or when the receiver FIFO is empty, in the FIFO mode.

R 0x0
