Lpc2000

Hi,

I am working with the UART1 of the LPC2106 using the UARTecho sample program with the KickStart board from IAR.  The UART keeps generating the character time-out indicator interrupt.  I have looked through all of the documentation from Philips and I cannot find an explanation of what actually causes this interrupt. Does it mean that a stop bit was not found in nine bit times from the start bit? Does it mean that the receive FIFO overran? Is this lack of a clear and concise explanation indicative of Philips documentation? I am new to the LPC210x family, so please excuse my lack of understanding if the answer is obvious. I have worked mostly with Motorola micros and there documentation seems more concise.

Thanks,
Bob Davis
