Break error interrupt in USART

[Kaduru]

Hello Team,

Now I am working on stm32mp133f MCU. 

I need to implement break error interrupt in USART.

My requirement is when we got 'NULL' data on  RX FIFO . it should generate break interrupt.

shall I get this  interrupt with frame error.

Not quite sure what you mean by that - "receiving Null data" is quite distinct from detecting (or generating) a BREAK condition on the line

As per my understand break character is

A Break character is interpreted on receiving “0”s for a frame period. At the end of the
break frame, the transmitter inserts 2 stop bits.

Break character
When a break character is received, the USART handles it as a framing error.

FE: Framing error
This bit is set by hardware when a de-synchronization, excessive noise or a break character
is detected. It is cleared by software, writing 1 to the FECF bit in the USART_ICR register.
When transmitting data in Smartcard mode, this bit is set when the maximum number of
transmit attempts is reached without success (the card NACKs the data frame).
An interrupt is generated if EIE = 1 in the USART_CR3 register.
0: No Framing error is detected
1: Framing error or break character is detected.

How I can manage frame error or break error?

A Break condition isn't a character:

A Break condition violates the normal framing - as shown in the diagram, there is no Stop bit.

This is different from receiving a NUL character - which is a valid frame in which all the data bits are zero.
