Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transceiver (UART)

The Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter features a two-pin UART that can be used for communication and trace purposes and offers an ideal medium for in-situ programming solutions.

Moreover, the association with two peripheral DMA controller (PDC) channels permits packet handling for these tasks with processor time reduced to a minimum.

Usage
  1. Enable the UART peripheral clock in the PMC.
  2. Enable the required UART PIOs (see pio.h).
  3. Configure the UART by calling uart_init.
  4. Send data through the UART using the uart_write.
  5. Receive data from the UART using the uart_read; the availability of data can be polled with uart_is_rx_ready.
  6. Disable the transmitter and/or the receiver of the UART with uart_disable_tx and uart_disable_rx.
