Experiences with UART

Post by Harty123 »

At the moment I have a project request from an company for an special project based on the Uzebox. It's secret, but after finishing I will post more information about this project...

My question: Does anybody have experiences with the usage of the UART in Uzebox? I remember there was something in the API some years ago but I can't find it in the wiki...

I sure do! Lee also lately. I've been working with it for the Uzenet interface which uses the UART to communicate with the ESP8266. There's a new UART API with separate RX and TX ring buffers in the kernel now to support this.

What can I help you with?

The new ring buffer setup works wonders. I put together what I know about it. Alec can you fact check this and add any thing that's missing here. I am a bit confused about what is depreciated and what is not as far as the current state of the API.
