Hardware/Circuit Design
-----------------------
.. FIXME [0.0.10] UART4 and UART5
.. FIXME [0.1.0] Maple Native and Mini info and links
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. Which pins correspond to the USART TX and RX pins are given on
your board's silkscreen, and also in the board-specific USART pin maps
available here:
* :ref:`Maple <maple-usart-map>`
* :ref:`Maple RET6 Edition <maple-ret6-usart-map>`
If you use a particular serial port, you cannot also use its
communication pins for other purposes at the same time.
Compatible Devices and Specifications
-------------------------------------
We have successfully used the USART ports with an FT232R-based
USB-serial converter at up to 115200 baud. Higher speeds should
certainly be possible.
