#106951 - UART Rx parity (and other errors) on PC
Responding to: ???'s previous message
On PC, the 16C450-compatible UART receives the byte, puts it in the receive buffer/FIFO regardless of errors occurred (PE/FE/break) and sets the appropriate flags in Line Status Register. It is then the responsibility of the application (in case of Win, driver+application) to cope with the errors. I'll bet most of the terminal programs simply ignore the errors (although I know at least of one which seems to flush the receive buffer on error) hence it presents the received byte regardless of the error.
