4.13.5.3.3 Transmitter Control

When the transmitter is enabled, the bit TXRDY (Transmitter Ready) is set in DBGU_SR. The transmission starts when the programmer writes in the DBGU_THR, and after the written character is transferred from DBGU_THR to the internal shift register. The TXRDY bit 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 internal shift register and TXRDY rises again, showing that the holding register is empty.

When both the internal shift register and DBGU_THR are empty, i.e., all the characters written in DBGU_THR have been processed, the TXEMPTY bit rises after the last stop bit has been completed.
