The first part of
to clear the SPRF without problems. However, as illustrated by the
second transmission example, the OVRF flag can be set in between the
time that SPSCR and SPDR are read.
In this case, an overflow can be easily missed. Since no more SPRF
interrupts can be generated until this OVRF is serviced, it will not be
obvious that bytes are being lost as more transmissions are completed.
To prevent this, either enable the OVRF interrupt or do another read of
the SPSCR after the read of the SPDR. This ensures that the OVRF was
not set before the SPRF was cleared and that future transmissions will
complete with an SPRF interrupt.
Generally, to avoid this second SPSCR read, enable the OVRF to the
CPU by setting the ERRIE bit (SPSCR).
