I have set up a UART as receiver. I use circular buffer to copy the data in. The code pretty much works ok with one exception:
If the last byte of incoming data frame is to be saved in index 0 (UARTRx[0]), the data appears at this address AFTER the buffer counter indicates the data to be ready at that location. the delay could be few hundred microseconds.
Is it possible that the counter is updated, but the value is still not written yet?
