29.5.3.3 Transmitter Control
When the transmitter is enabled, the bit TXRDY (Transmitter Ready) is set in the status register DBGU_SR. The
transmission starts when the programmer writes in the Transmit Holding Register DBGU_THR, and after the
written character is transferred from DBGU_THR to the Shift Register. The bit TXRDY remains high until a second
character is written in DBGU_THR. As soon as the first character is completed, the last character written in
DBGU_THR is transferred into the shift register and TXRDY rises again, showing that the holding register is
empty.
When both the Shift Register and the DBGU_THR are empty, i.e., all the characters written in DBGU_THR have
been processed, the bit TXEMPTY rises after the last stop bit has been completed.

29.5.4 Peripheral Data Controller
Both the receiver and the transmitter of the Debug Unit's UART are generally connected to a Peripheral Data
Controller (PDC) channel.
The peripheral data controller channels are programmed via registers that are mapped within the Debug Unit user
interface from the offset 0x100. The status bits are reported in the Debug Unit status register DBGU_SR and can
generate an interrupt.
The RXRDY bit triggers the PDC channel data transfer of the receiver. This results in a read of the data in
DBGU_RHR. The TXRDY bit triggers the PDC channel data transfer of the transmitter. This results in a write of a
data in DBGU_THR.
