I'm coding a module for using the UART in the Stellaris Launchpad. I want to use FIFOs. My problem is with the documentation. LM4F120H5QR datasheet states each UART has a 16x8 FIFO for Tx and another 16x8 FIFO for RX. But I can't find what is the FIFO width and what is the FIFO depth.
Is the FIFO "16 bit x 8 elements", or is it "8 bit x 16 elements"?
PS: Why UART FIFO isn't documented like for example the SSI FIFO. For the SSI FIFO, the datasheet makes it clear: "Separate transmit and receive FIFOs, each 16 bits wide and 8 locations deep"
