Infrared Serial Communications Interface Module (IRSCI)
OR — Receiver Overrun Bit

it must receive a valid character that sets the SCRF bit before an idle condition can set the IDLE bit.
Also, after the IDLE bit has been cleared, a valid character must again set the SCRF bit before an idle
condition can set the IDLE bit. Reset clears the IDLE bit.
This clearable, read-only bit is set when software fails to read the IRSCDR before the receive shift
register receives the next character. The OR bit generates an SCI error CPU interrupt request if the
ORIE bit in IRSCC3 is also set. The data in the shift register is lost, but the data already in the IRSCDR
is not affected. Clear the OR bit by reading IRSCS1 with OR set and then reading the IRSCDR. Reset
clears the OR bit.
Software latency may allow an overrun to occur between reads of IRSCS1 and IRSCDR in the
flag-clearing sequence.
overrun caused by a delayed flag-clearing sequence. The delayed read of IRSCDR does not clear the
OR bit because OR was not set when IRSCS1 was read. Byte 2 caused the overrun and is lost. The
next flag-clearing sequence reads byte 3 in the IRSCDR instead of byte 2.
In applications that are subject to software latency or in which it is important to know which byte is lost
due to an overrun, the flag-clearing routine can check the OR bit in a second read of IRSCS1 after
reading the data register.
1 = Receiver input idle
0 = Receiver input active (or idle since the IDLE bit was cleared)
1 = Receive shift register full and SCRF = 1
0 = No receiver overrun
