UNIVERSAL (3.3V AND 5V) PCI BUS OCTAL UART
REV. P1.0.0
It is suggested that before starting to read the Special Receive FIFO Data with Status to unload data from any
UART channel (address 0x180 for channel 0), do a dummy read to the Device ID (DVID) register in the Config-
uration Register of the device. The Special Receive FIFO Data with Status register can then be read multiple
times subsequently without any byte-swapping problem as long as no other register (except the Device ID reg-
ister) is accessed in between data unload. If you must read or write to another register, make that dummy read
to the DVID register again and continue with data unloading.
A step by step procedure describing the sequence for a target channel is shown below. From the receive data
service routine:

* In case some other registers need to be accessed in between ‘Special Receive FIFO Data with Status’
reads, a ‘Read DVID’ instruction has to be inserted before resuming ‘Special Receive FIFO Data with Status’
read operation.

Do a dummy read to Device ID (DVID) register. Address 0x8D in BYTE alignment or address 0x8C in
DWORD alignment.
Read the data byte and its associated error status from ‘Special Receive FIFO Data with Status’ register of
the target channel until done or empty when one of the LSR status byte bit-0=0.

: If you must do other Read/Write operations to other register(s) during data unloading, repeat steps 1 & 2 to continue
unloading data plus status from the ‘Special Receive FIFO Data with Status’ register of the target channel.
