 Hardware/Circuit Design
 -----------------------
 
-The Maple has 3 separate USART devices: ``Serial1``, ``Serial2``, and
-``Serial3``. In the most simple use case, the RX and TX pins are used
-to send data at a predetermined baudrate with the line voltage level
-relative to ground.

+The Maple has 3 separate USART devices. In the most simple use case,
+the RX and TX pins are used to send data at a predetermined baudrate
+with the line voltage level relative to ground.  Their usage is
+documented in the :ref:`Serial Ports <lang-serial>` language reference
+page.
 
 Compatible Devices and Specifications
 -------------------------------------
 
-We have successfully used the Maple USART ports with an FT232R-based USB-serial converter at up to 115200 baud; higher speeds should certainly be possible.
-
-Function Reference
-------------------
-
-In the following, you may replace ``SerialN`` with ``Serial1``,
-``Serial2``, or ``Serial3``.
-
-``SerialN.begin(baudrate)``
-
-    ``SerialN.begin`` is usually called in `setup()`_ to configure the
-    baudrate of the given serial port and to set up the header pins
-    appropriately. It can be called at any time to reconfigure a port
-    or to change the baudrate. 9600 baud is the generic speed most
-    widely supported by other devices and terminals.
-
-``SerialN.print(...)``/\ ``SerialN.println(...)``
-
-    Writes data into the port buffer to be transmitted as soon as
-    possible. Accepts strings (``char*``). If a raw integer is
-    passed, the corresponding ASCII character will be transmitted; to
-    print out a number in human readable form add a second parameter
-    with the base system. 
-
-    For example, to print out the decimal number '1234' use
-    ``SerialN.print(1234, DEC)``; to print out the binary number
-    '1001', use ``SerialN.print(9, BIN)``.
-
-``SerialN.available()``/\ ``SerialN.read()``
-
-    ``SerialN.read()`` will return the next unread character that has
-    been received over the port. ``SerialN.available()`` returns how
-    many such bytes are available (or zero if none are). If none are
-    available, ``SerialN.read()`` will block/fail, so the usual
-    program structure is to poll with ``SerialN.available`` and only
-    read if a nonzero value is returned.
+We have successfully used the Maple USART ports with an FT232R-based
+USB-serial converter at up to 115200 baud; higher speeds should
+certainly be possible.
