#113555 - parallel - serial vs serial -serial Responding to: ???'s previous message |
The 16550 ties up a lot of I/OI lines and there are lots more connections. 8 signal lines for the data bus, 3~4 lines for the address bus, Read and write lines... etc
app note here http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/acrobat_d...0319_1.pdf source code http://www.standardics.philips.com/support/d....board.zip For the I2c or SPI -- to UART there are much few signal lines With serial - serial the throughput can be much less. JG |
