Migrating from the M16C to the RX
Asynchronous Serial Communications (UART)
Abstract
This document describes migrating from the serial I/O UART mode in the M16C Family to the SCI asynchronous mode
in the RX Family.
Products
RX Family, M16C Family
When using this application note with other Renesas MCUs, careful evaluation is recommended after making
modifications to comply with the alternate MCU.
