UART: A Detailed Overview of Asynchronous Serial Communication
UART is one of the oldest and most fundamental methods of serial communication in embedded systems. As its name suggests, it operates asynchronously, meaning there is no shared clock signal between the transmitter and the receiver. This makes UART especially attractive in scenarios where simplicity and minimal wiring are important.
