Being able to communicate between a host computer and a project is often a key requirement, and for FPGA projects that is easily done by adding a submodule like a UART. A Universal Asynchronous ...

To the average microcontroller, Ethernet networks are quite a step up from the basic I2C, SPI and UART interfaces, requiring either a built-in Ethernet MAC or SPI-based MAC, with tedious translation ...

The UART, or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, is one of the most used device-to-device communication protocols. This article shows how to use a UART as a hardware communication protocol by ...

Have you ever used the term UART only to be corrected by another engineer that it isn’t a UART but USART? In certain circumstances the interchangeability of these ...

With the increasing number of high-profile data and privacy breaches in the Internet of Things (IoT) systems, businesses and consumers have a greater awareness of the need for security when buying ...

This application note explains how to use a microprocessor’s UART to implement a 1-Wire® bus master. It includes an explanation of the required electrical interface, UART configuration, and timing ...

The Universal Asynchronous Receive and Transmit (UART) interface is found on a variety of peripheral devices. Consider, for instance, a microcontrollerbased system with four such peripherals. Ideally, ...

Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters (UARTs) are considered the simplest way to send data from one system to another system. UARTs are commonly included in microcontrollers and many modern ICs ...

In the last two installments of Driving Me Nuts [LJ August 2002 and October 2002], we covered the tty layer, explaining how to create a minimal tty driver. We also explained some of the various ioctls ...
