Data Status
010
The data byte read from the FIFO is the dummy byte that was written into the FIFO
when the HDLC abort sequence (01111111) was detected. This indicates that the data
link became inactive.
011
Unused.
100
The data byte read from the FIFO is the last byte of a normally terminated packet with
no CRC error and the packet received had an integer number of bytes.
101
The data byte read from the FIFO must be discarded because there was a non-integer
number of bytes in the packet.
110
The data byte read from the FIFO is the last byte of a normally terminated packet with
a CRC error. The packet was received in error.
111
The data byte read from the FIFO is the last byte of a normally terminated packet with
a CRC error and a non-integer number of bytes. The packet was received in error.
PKIN
The Packet In (PKIN) bit is logic one when the last byte of a non-aborted packet is written
into the FIFO. The PKIN bit is cleared to logic zero after the RDLC Status Register is read.
COLS
The Change of Link Status (COLS) bit is set to logic one if the RDLC has detected the
HDLC flag sequence (01111110) or HDLC abort sequence (01111111) in the data. This
indicates that there has been a change in the data link status. The COLS bit is cleared to logic
zero by reading this register or by clearing the EN bit in the RDLC Configuration Register.
For each change in link status, a byte is written into the FIFO. If the COLS bit is found to be
logic one then the RDLC FIFO must be read until empty. The status of the data link is
determined by the PBS[2:0] bits associated with the data read from the RDLC FIFO.
OVR
The overrun (OVR) bit is set to logic one when data is written over unread data in the RDLC
FIFO buffer. This bit is not reset to logic zero until after the Status Register is read. While the
OVR bit is logic one, the RDLC and RDLC FIFO buffer are held in the reset state, causing
the COLS and PKIN bits to be reset to logic zero.
FE
The FIFO buffer empty (FE) bit is set to logic one when the last RDLC FIFO buffer entry is
read. The FE bit goes to logic zero when the FIFO is loaded with new data.
