UART identification

The first thing that we will look for in an embedded device is the universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) interface. UART is one of the most common communication protocols found in embedded devices. UART essentially converts the parallel data that it receives into a serial bit stream of data, which could be easier to interact with.

Since the other focus here is on reducing the number of lines, there is no clock present in a UART communication. Instead, UART relies on baud rate, which is the rate of data transfer. The two different components present in a UART communication will agree on a specified baudrate to ensure that the data is received in a proper format.

Additionally, in a UART communication, another ...
