UART library

Summary

A software defined, industry-standard, UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) library that allows you to control an UART serial connection via the xCORE GPIO hardware-response ports. This library is controlled via C using the XMOS multicore extensions.

Features

.. sidebysidelist::

 * UART receive and transmit
 * Supports speeds up to 10MBit/s
 * Half-duplex mode (applicable to RS485)
 * Efficient multi-uart mode for implementing multiple connections
