Bit Name/Identifier Description Access Reset
[31:1] - Reserved R 0x0
[0] Transmit FIFO Low Watermark Enable Register (tx_low_en) This bit controls the Tx FIFO Low Watermark feature. This feature requires FIFO to be enabled (FCR[0]). When enabled, the UART will send a Transmit Holding Register Empty status interrupt when the Transmit FIFO level is at or below the value stored in tx_low. Legal values for tx_low can range from zero up to depth of FIFO minus two. UART behavior is undefined when tx_low is set to illegal values.
  • 1 - Transmit FIFO Low Watermark is set by tx_low
  • 0 - Transmit FIFO Low Watermark is unset
This value must only be changed when the Transmit FIFO is empty or before FIFO is enabled (FCR[0]). This register is meant to be changed during UART initialization before active traffic is sent. The Transmit FIFO should be reset using FCR[2] after any changes to this value.
