always ready and that underruns do not occur. Otherwise, the SMC transmitter should be
disabled and reenabled. Section 26.2.4, ÒDisabling SMCs On-the-Fly,Ó describes how to
safely disable and reenable the SMC. Simply clearing and setting TEN may not be enough.
26.4.6 SMC Transparent Commands
Table 26-10 describes transmit commands issued to the CPCR.
Table 26-10. SMC Transparent Transmit Commands
Command
After hardware or software is reset and the channel is enabled in the SMCM, the channel is in transmit
STOP
enable mode and polls the Þrst BD. This command disables transmission of frames on the transmit
TRANSMIT
channel. If the transparent controller receives this command while sending a frame, it stops after the
contents of the FIFO are sent (up to 2 characters). The TBPTR is not advanced to the next BD, no new
BD is accessed, and no new buffers are sent for this channel. The transmitter sends idles until a
RESTART TRANSMIT
Starts or resumes transmission from the current TBPTR in the channel TxBD table. When the channel
RESTART
receives this command, it polls the R bit in this BD. The SMC expects this command after a
TRANSMIT
is issued. The channel in its mode register is disabled or after a transmitter error occurs.
TRANSMIT
Initializes transmit parameters in this serial channel to reset state. Use only if the transmitter is

disabled. The

Command
Forces the SMC to close the current receive BD if it is in use and to use the next BD for subsequent
ENTER HUNT
data. If the SMC is not receiving data, the buffer is not closed. Additionally, this command causes the
MODE
receiver to wait for a resynchronization before reception resumes.
Forces the SMC to close the current receive BD if it in use and to use the next BD in the list for
CLOSE RXBD
subsequent received data. If the SMC is not in the process of receiving data, no action is taken.

Initializes receive parameters in this serial channel to reset state. Use only if the receiver is disabled.

26.4.7 Handling Errors in the SMC Transparent Controller
The SMC uses BDs and the SMCE to report message send and receive errors.
Table 26-12. SMC Transparent Error Conditions
Error
Underrun The channel stops sending the buffer, closes it, sets UN in the BD, and generates a TXE interrupt if it is
enabled. The channel resumes sending after a
between frames.
Overrun
The SMC maintains an internal FIFO for receiving data. If the buffer is in external memory, the CP begins
programming the SDMA channel when the Þrst character is received into the FIFO. If a FIFO overrun
occurs, the SMC writes the received data character over the previously received character. The previous
character and its status bits are lost. Then the channel closes the buffer, sets OV in the BD, and generates
the RXB interrupt if it is enabled. Reception continues as normal.
