| Is it possible to set non integer bit rate on H/W UART, for ex., 7812.5? |

The PIC hardware supports it. I don't know if the CCS support routines, such as #use rs232 does, but I think it probably wont as they seem to want an integer baudrate. Even so it is not easy to precisely set most commonly used baudrates unless your crystal is one of frequencies intended for baudrate generation, such as 14.7456MHz. Put another way, when you use a "normal" clock frequency like 8MHz, you cant get 9600 baud: the closest is 9615baud, which is close enough and works fine.
Why do you need 7812.5 baud? It just happens to be 8MHz/1024, which sounds suspiciously like someone else has had the same problem as its very easy to generate it from an 8MHz (probably internal...) clock.

What is the tolerance on the bit rate? If it is the usual N,8,1 serial format then 2% or 3% is fine. Even if you restrict it to 1% you can use any bit rate from 7734.4 to 7891.4 so the fractional bits are lost in the noise.

There is a standard cheat for this.
Assume your CPU clock is (say) 16MHz. Then code as:
| Code: |
#use delay(clock=32M)
#use rs232(baud=15625, UART1, errors)
#use delay(clock=16M)
|
You'll find your delays are correct (use the second #use delay), but the UART setup, uses the first, delay, and correctly programs the hardware BRG, for 15625/2 baud.
However have to point out, that the hardware limitations, imply integer dividers only. This will give the correct rate with a 16MHz clock, but if (say) you tried with a 15Mhz clock, the rate will not be possible, and the compiler will give you the nearest 'miss', and not tell you unless this is dangerously in error (just under 3% as standard). Because of the hardware limitations, the compiler will give you exactly the same divisor, using the standard clock, for any rate from 7807bps, to 7818bps. So there is no point in worrying, choose a clock rate that gives this baud rate as the best figure round here (so, 8, 16, 32, or 64MHz), and just ask for 7812baud, and the value given will be what you want....
