Register 2: UART Receive Status/Error Clear (UARTRSR/UARTECR), offset
0x004
The UARTRSR/UARTECR register is the receive status register/error clear register.
In addition to the UARTDR register, receive status can also be read from the UARTRSR register.
If the status is read from this register, then the status information corresponds to the entry read from
UARTDR prior to reading UARTRSR. The status information for overrun is set immediately when
an overrun condition occurs.
The UARTRSR register cannot be written.
A write of any value to the UARTECR register clears the framing, parity, break, and overrun errors.
All the bits are cleared on reset.

Software should not rely on the value of a reserved bit. To provide
compatibility with future products, the value of a reserved bit should be
preserved across a read-modify-write operation.

UART Overrun Error
DescriptionValue
New data was received when the FIFO was full, resulting in
data loss.
1
No data has been lost due to a FIFO overrun.0
This bit is cleared by a write to UARTECR.
The FIFO contents remain valid because no further data is written when
the FIFO is full, only the contents of the shift register are overwritten.
The CPU must read the data in order to empty the FIFO.
