D.3 MC68302 BUFFER PROCESSING AND INTERRUPT HANDLING
The following paragraphs describe how to build an algorithm to process the buffers for the
MC68302 serial communication controller (SCC) channels.
D.3.1 Buffer Descriptors Definition
Data buffers used by the MC68302 are controlled by buffer descriptors (BDs). The general
structure of a BD is shown in Figure D-3. The processing of buffers by software is done by
examining BDs. Thus, BDs are the focus of this discussion.
Each transmit BD has a very important bit called the “ready” bit. This bit is set by the M68000
user program to signify to the SCC that the BD has data ready for sending. Similarly, the
“empty” bit tells whether a receive BD is empty and can be used by the SCC for locating an
empty buffer to store incoming data.
In the MC68302, up to 8 receive BDs and 8 transmit BDs can be defined per SCC. These
BDs are stored in predefined places in the MC68302 dual-port RAM. The “wrap” bit is set in
the last BD, causing the SCC to wrap back around to the first BD when processing of the
last BD is complete. Thus, each set of BDs form a circular queue. An example is shown in
Figure D-4.
