You are right Uwe. I missed it. It was right under my nose ;)

Thank you,

Bob,

take a look at the User Manual, p.89. Not too bad an explanation. ;-)

Philips defers to the 16550 documentation for detailed explanations. See
for example http://www.national.com/pf/PC/PC16550D.html#Datasheet or
http://www-us16.semiconductors.com/pip/SC16C550IA44.html

The CTI essentially means that there are characters in the receive FIFO but
not enough to pass the threshold and there are no characters coming in.

Hi,

I am working with the UART1 of the LPC2106 using the UARTecho sample program with the KickStart board from IAR. The UART keeps generating the character time-out indicator interrupt. I have looked through all of the documentation from Philips and I cannot find an explanation of what actually causes this interrupt. Does it mean that a stop bit was not found in nine bit times from the start bit? Does it mean that the receive FIFO overran? Is this lack of a clear and concise explanation indicative of Philips documentation? I am new to the LPC210x family, so please excuse my lack of understanding if the answer is obvious. I have worked mostly with Motorola micros and there documentation seems more concise.

Thanks,
Bob Davis
