#84138 - SW UART is not a taboo!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Resource consuming and not simple - yes, certainly. But unreliable???
It is as unreliable as badly written!
There are applications, where it pays off to use a cheap and stupid chip with some extra programming; sometimes you simply cannot use the interal UART (e.g. for 5-bit used in tty, or for extremly slow baudrates with fast mcu).
Maybe the majority of typical applications is better off using a dual-uart mcu or external uart, but it does not mean the sw uart is not an option.
