PRODUCTION DATA
The UART can generate interrupts when the following conditions are observed:
All of the interrupt events are ORed together before being sent to the interrupt controller, so the UART can only generate a single interrupt request to the controller at any given time. Software can service multiple interrupt events in a single interrupt service routine by reading the UART Masked Interrupt Status (UARTMIS) register.
The interrupt events that can trigger a controller-level interrupt are defined in the UART Interrupt Mask (UARTIM) register by setting the corresponding IM bits. If interrupts are not used, the raw interrupt status is always visible through the UART Raw Interrupt Status (UARTRIS) register.
Interrupts are always cleared (for both the UARTMIS and UARTRIS registers) by writing a "1" to the corresponding bit in the UART Interrupt Clear (UARTICR) register.
The receive time-out interrupt is asserted when the receive FIFO is not empty, and no further data is received over a 32-bit period. The receive time-out interrupt is cleared either when the FIFO becomes empty through reading all the data (or by reading the holding register), or when a "1" is written to the corresponding bit in the UARTICR register.
