L12: Serial communication | Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter(UART)

Welcome to Lecture 12 of the course “Embedded C Programming” by Prof. Nitin Chandrachoodan.

Video Overview
Gain a clear understanding of the Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) protocol in this lecture. Learn the principles of asynchronous communication, the structure of a UART data frame including start, stop, data, and parity bits, and the widely used 8N1 configuration. Explore UART’s simplicity, versatility, and limitations such as speed and error detection, while also seeing how it is commonly used for debugging embedded systems through console interfaces and the printf function. This session also introduces concepts of simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex communication modes essential for embedded development.
