uses-uart

Abstract ¶

This defines the interface for configuring hardware which communicates over UART style serial. See built documentation at at yaq.fyi.

Table of Contents ¶

Motivation ¶

UART is a common subform of serial communication which writes to a serial port at a specific baud rate. This form of serial communication is generally used for RS-232 and RS-485 style serial as well as some forms of board level GPIO serial on certain computers.

Proposal ¶

config: serial_port (string) ¶

This identifies which serial port to use. On Windows this is generally something like COM4, on Linux it would look like /dev/ttyUSB0.

config: baud_rate (int) ¶

The speed of UART communication. Common baud rates include 9600, 19200, and 115200.
