Line Status Register (LSR)
The LSR provides data transfer status information to the processor.
In non-FIFO mode, LSR[4:2]: parity error, framing error, and break interrupt, show the error status 
of the character that has just been received. 
In FIFO mode, LSR[4:2] show the status bits of the character that is currently at the front of the 
FIFO. 
LSR[4:1] produce a receiver line status interrupt when the corresponding conditions are detected 
and the interrupt is enabled. In FIFO mode, the receiver line status interrupt only occurs when the 
erroneous character reaches the front of the FIFO. If the erroneous character is not at the front of 
the FIFO, a line status interrupt is generated after the other characters are read and the erroneous 
character becomes the character at the front of the FIFO. The LSR bit definitions are shown in 
The LSR must be read before the erroneous character is read. LSR[4:1] bits are set until software 
reads the LSR.

PARITY ENABLE:
Enables a parity bit to be generated on transmission or checked on 
reception. 
0 – No parity
1 – Parity

STOP BITS:
Specifies the number of stop bits transmitted and received in each 
character. When receiving, the receiver only checks the first stop bit.
0 – 1 stop bit
1 – 2 stop bits, except for 5-bit character then 1-1/2 bits

WORD LENGTH SELECT:
Specifies the number of data bits in each transmitted or received character.
00 – 5-bit character
01 – 6-bit character
10 – 7-bit character
11 – 8-bit character
