Description

Asynchronous communication between a digital signal processor (DSP) and another device is a common system requirement. This application report discusses a software implementation of a universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter (UART) to enable asynchronous communication with minimal hardware overhead using the Texas Instruments (TI)(tm) TMS320C54x DSP. Topics covered include: - Asynchrono
