Troubleshooting

-
Overflow. Overflow occurs when the RSR has new data to pass to the
receive FIFO buffer but the FIFO buffer is full. Overflow errors are fatal to
a reception. For as long as the FIFO buffer is full, any incoming words will
be lost. To restart reception, make space in the buffer by reading from it
(through the SDTR).
-
Frame sync pulse during a transmission. After the initial frame sync,
no others should occur during transmission. If a frame sync pulse occurs
during a transmission, the current transmission is aborted, and a new
transmit cycle begins.
-
Frame sync pulse during a reception. After the initial frame sync, no
others should occur during reception. If a frame sync pulse occurs during
a reception, the current packet of data is lost. On any FSR pulse, the RSR
bit counter is reset; therefore, the data that was being shifted into the RSR
from the the DR pin is lost.
