The transmission complete error message provides the status of the ISR_USART_TC bit. This bit, when set, indicates that the transmission has not been completed. The bit status indication is not a very understandable information. The error message sent on console should indicate that the transmission is not complete, instead of providing USART_TC bit status. Update the error message and add a comment for better understanding.
