Description

Although the TMS320C30 serial ports were designed to be used as synchronous ports they can be used as asynchronous ports under software control. This application note describes the hardware and software to use a TMS320C30 serial port as an asynchronous port. A schematic diagram and a lengthy code listing are provided to illustrate the solution.
