I have a couple of questions I am having trouble getting answers to
from the local Atmel FAEs. Our software team is telling me that the
DBGU serial port has an undocumented receiver timeout interrupt that is
not disableable and can not be configured.

An undocumented interrupt makes no sense to me. How would the programmer
deal with it?

Undocumented "features" that don't pervade programmer-space are one thing.
Interrupts, that do, are quite another.

I agree 100%. But it is hard to call someone stupid without having
facts in hand. But sometimes it is hard to resist... ;^)

This reminds me of an insurance joke I read about a claim that they
were hit by an "invisble" car that came "out of nowhere" and then
"disappeared". Kinda hard to say it didn't happen that way, but I
seriously doubt that any of that was literal.
