As soon as the Synch Break Field is transmitted, the flag LINBK in the Channel Status Register (US_CSR) is set to 1.
Likewise, as soon as the Identifier Field is sent, the flag bit LINID in the US_CSR is set to 1. These flags are reset by
writing a one to the bit RSTSTA in the Control register (US_CR).
Figure 40-39. Header Transmission
40.7.8.7 Header Reception (Slave Node Configuration)
All the LIN Frames start with a header which is sent by the master node and consists of a Synch Break Field, Synch Field
and Identifier Field.
In Slave node configuration, the frame handling starts with the reception of the header.
The USART uses a break detection threshold of 11 nominal bit times at the actual baud rate. At any time, if 11
consecutive recessive bits are detected on the bus, the USART detects a Break Field. As long as a Break Field has not
been detected, the USART stays idle and the received data are not taken in account.
When a Break Field has been detected, the flag LINBK in the Channel Status register (US_CSR) is set to 1 and the
USART expects the Synch Field character to be 0x55. This field is used to update the actual baud rate in order to stay
synchronized (see 
). If the received Synch character is not 0x55, an Inconsistent Synch Field error is
generated (see 
After receiving the Synch Field, the USART expects to receive the Identifier Field. 
When the Identifier Field has been received, the flag bit LINID in the US_CSR is set to 1. At this moment the field IDCHR
in the LIN Identifier register (US_LINIR) is updated with the received character. The Identifier parity bits can be
automatically computed and checked (see 
The flag bits LINID and LINBK are reset by writing a one to the bit RSTSTA in the Control register (US_CR).
