PDC w/ USART

Hello All,

I am implementing hardware handshaking with USART on AT91RM9200 board
(24.6.3.12 in data sheet).  I need to make RTS signal orignating from CP
drop to allow the remote device with which the CPU is communicating t
transmit information to the CPU.  The data sheet states that the USAR
needs requires the use of the PDC (peripheral DMA controller) fo
reception when using hardware handshaking.  I have used the PD
successfully before to talk (send/receive) to other peripherals, and ca
successfully use it to send out the USART, but even though I believe t
have configured the PDC reception correctly, the RTS signal does not dro
low.  Is there something else that I need to do besides set up PDC an
enable receive on USART?

Another Question:

Does hardware handshaking work for both synchronous and asynchronou
transmission?  I assume so, as I haven't read otherwise in the dat
sheet.

Thank you very much for your help.

Joshua

The problem is that the RTS line for USART 0 isn't brought out to the lin
that it is supposed to (RTS0 is PA21 in data sheet).  AT91RM9200 Errat
sheet states that it is brought out to PD21.  When setting up USART 0 t
use PD21, the RTS line will assert low as it is supposed to.
