Break output?
[1] SCI initialization:
  The TxD pin is automatically
  designated as the transmit data
 output pin.
  After the TE bit is set to 1, a frame
  of 1s is output, and transmission is
 enabled.
[2]  SCI status check and transmit data
 write:
  Read SSR and check that the
  TDRE flag is set to 1, then write
  transmit data to TDR and clear the
  TDRE flag to 0.
[3]  Serial transmission continuation
 procedure:
  To continue serial transmission,
  read 1 from the TDRE flag to
  confirm that writing is possible,
  then write data to TDR, and then
  clear the TDRE flag to 0. Checking
  and clearing of the TDRE flag is
  automatic when the DMAC or DTC
  is activated by a transmit-data-
  empty interrupt (TXI) request, and
  data is written to TDR.
[4]  Break output at the end of serial
 transmission:
  To output a break in serial
  transmission, set DDR for the port
  corresponding to the TxD pin to 1,
  clear DR to 0, then clear the TE bit
  in SCR to 0.
