Processor UART

The following sections provide an overview of the main components and features of the
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) peripheral. It is an alternative to the FIF!
stores upto "# $ytes including % aditional $its of error status per $yte for thr receiver FIF. The
UART performs serial&to&parallel conversions on data received from a peripheral
device and parallel&to&serial conversion on data received from the '(U.
A )aud Rate represents the num$er of $its that are actually $eing sent over the media! not
the amount of data that is actually moved from one *T+(Receiver) device to the other. The )aud
count includes the overhead $its ,tart! ,top and (arity that are generated $y the sending UART and
removed $y the receiving UART. This means that seven&$it words of data actually ta-e ". $its to $e
completely transmitted.
TI /A( %0%. to UART Rs 1%1 connection are e2plained in this chaptor.

Syntax : uint7 ul-4proc4uart4gets(uint7 port! uint7 =$uff4p)
reading a string from UART or reading a charactor repeadely using >ul-4proc4uart4getc?
function repeatedly.
