Re: [avr-gcc-list] Small program for UART not working

[Ian Caddy]

Hi Gary,

From your description of your output data, it looks like it is 
configured for either 7 data bits (which will cause the stop bit to look 
like the MSB of the data on the receiver causing it to be set), or that 
somehow parity is being set.

I had a quick look at your program and that doesn't seem to be the case, 
but have you made sure that you don't have your chip in mega103 
compatability mode which does change the function of the UART?  It is 
one of the programming fuses that enables this functionality and it is 
shipped with it ON by default.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

regards,

Ian Caddy
