Hey,
I want to clear the transmit-Fifo, to have a defined state.
Knows anybody how to do do this?

SSP: How to clear transmit FIFO

There are two ways to do this:
1. Disable the FIFO enable bit on the FIFO control register
2. Set the Tx FIFO reset bit ont the FIFO control register

Beware the fine print that FIFO enable bit must be set for proper
operation of the UART! --- In lpc2000@lpc2..., "Ken Wada" <kwada@a...> wrote:

I noticed the comment on 'proper UART' operation also.
I have used both the 16c550 and the 16c450 for many years. My
recollection is that the FIFO enable bit was supposed to change the
mode to 16c450 'FIFO-less' operation when disabled; and change the
mode to true 16c550 mode when enabled.
In fact, the National Semiconductor datasheet on the 16c550 says the
following:
Bit 0: Writing a 1 to FCR0 enables both the XMIT and RCVR
FIFOs. Resetting FCR0 will clear all bytes in both FIFOs. When
changing from the FIFO Mode to the 16450 Mode and vice versa, data is
automatically cleared from the FIFOs. This bit must be a 1 when other
FCR bits are written to or they will not be programmed.
It was my understanding, according to the LPC2xxx user's manual, and
datasheet that, (other than not supporting the DMA operation), that
these UARTS are supposed to be 16c550 clones.

Thank you Ben,
I'm sorry, but it's about the SSP (SPI1) not the UART.
I found no CLR or ENABLE-Bit !

My understanding is that this was Philips' original plan. However,
they they discovered a bug in the operation when the FIFO is
disabled, so they just added that note saying: Don't do it!

say....
Have you tried this? If so, what happens? Does the UART lockup or
something like that?
It did not occur to me to try something like this.
I suppose something bad probably will happen.

The SPI does not have a FIFO.
The SPI device is basically a shift register. There really is no need
for an enable or clear on the SPI interface.

I have not tried this. If the Data Book says don't do it - I
listen. I would rather not find out what problem it causes after
shipping 5000 units to customers. --- In lpc2000@lpc2..., "Ken Wada" <kwada@a...> wrote:
