Part IV.  Communications Processor Module
31.6  HDLC Mode Register (FPSMR)
When an FCC is conÞgured for HDLC mode, the FPSMR is used as the HDLC mode
register, shown in Figure 31-3. 
Table 31-5. HDLC Reception Errors 
Error Description
Overrun Error  The HDLC controller maintains an internal FIFO buffer for receiving data. The CP begins 
programming the SDMA channel and updating the CRC whenever data is received in the FIFO buffer. 
When a receive FIFO overrun occurs, the channel writes the received data byte to the internal FIFO 
buffer over the previously received byte. The previous byte and the frame status are lost. The channel 
closes the buffer with RxBD[OV] set and generates the RXF interrupt if it is enabled. The receiver then 
enters hunt mode. Even if the overrun occurs during a frame whose address is not matched in the 
address recognition logic, an RxBD with data length two is opened to report the overrun and the RXF 
interrupt is generated if it is enabled.
CD Lost 
During Frame 
Reception 
When this error occurs, the channel terminates frame reception, closes the buffer, sets RxBD[CD], 
and generates the RXF interrupt if it is enabled. This error has highest priority. The rest of the frame is 
lost and other errors are not checked in that frame. At this point, the receiver enters hunt mode.
Abort 
Sequence 
The HDLC controller detects an abort sequence when seven or more consecutive ones are received. 
When this error occurs and the HDLC controller receives a frame, the channel closes the buffer by 
setting RxBD[AB] and generates the RXF interrupt (if enabled). The channel also increments the abort 
sequence counter. The CRC and nonoctet error status conditions are not checked on aborted frames. 
The receiver then enters hunt mode. When an abort sequence is received, the user is given no 
indication that an HDLC controller is not currently receiving a frame.
Nonoctet 
Aligned Frame 
When this error occurs, the channel writes the received data to the data buffer, closes the buffer, sets 
the Rx nonoctet aligned frame bit RxBD[NO], and generates the RXF interrupt (if it is enabled). The 
CRC error status should be disregarded on nonoctet frames. After a nonoctet aligned frame is 
received, the receiver enters hunt mode. An immediate back-to-back frame is still received. The 
nonoctet data portion may be derived from the last byte in the buffer by Þnding the least-signiÞcant set 
bit, which marks the end of valid data as follows:
msb
lsb
Valid data
1
0
0
0
CRC Error
When this error occurs, the channel writes the received CRC to the data buffer, closes the buffer, sets 
RxBD[CR], and generates the RXF interrupt (if it is enabled). The channel also increments the CRC 
error counter. After receiving a frame with a CRC error, the receiver enters hunt mode. An immediate 
back-to-back frame is still received. CRC checking cannot be disabled, but the CRC error can be 
ignored if checking is not required.
