20.10 Hunt Mode (Receiver)
A UART receiver in hunt mode remains deactivated until an idle or address character is
recognized, depending on PSMR[UM]. A receiver is forced into hunt mode by issuing an

command.
The receiver aborts any message in progress when
ENTER
HUNT
MODE
is issued. When the
message is Þnished, the receiver is reenabled by detecting the idle line (one idle character)
or by the address bit of the next message, depending on PSMR[UM]. When a receiver in
hunt mode receives a break sequence, it increments BRKEC and generates a BRK interrupt
condition.

20.11 Inserting Control Characters into the Transmit
Data Stream
The SCC UART transmitter can send out-of-sequence, ßow-control characters like XON
and XOFF. The controller polls the transmit out-of-sequence register (TOSEQ), shown in
Figure 20-4, whenever the transmitter is enabled for UART operation, including during a
UART freeze operation, UART buffer transmission, and when no buffer is ready for
transmission. The TOSEQ character (in CHARSEND) is sent at a higher priority than the
other characters in the transmit buffer, but does not preempt characters already in the
transmit FIFO. This means that the XON or XOFF character may not be sent for eight or
four (SCC) character times. To reduce this latency, set GSMR_H[TFL] to decrease the
FIFO size to one character before enabling the transmitter.
