34. Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transceiver (UART)
34.1 Description
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.
