Please explain can it be done

It is not &lt;i&gt;necessary&lt;/i&gt;, but it&amp;#39;s quite likely to be the most
convenient:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
In most cases, &amp;quot;binary&amp;quot; data will be 8-bit bytes - so setting the
serial port to 8 data bits makes sense.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
The other important thing is to ensure that the port (including
any drivers) will not try to interpret any specific values as any
kind of &amp;quot;control&amp;quot; code - eg, software flow control...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;i&gt;8 data bits&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
why 8?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Simple question, but a difficult answer?</title><link>https://community.arm.com/thread/57683?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 03 Feb 2010 05:15:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd9e70c8-6d3c-4c71-b136-2456382a7b5c:5ed3ae6a-61fc-49d2-a8cb-a0a0452b9d14</guid><dc:creator>Martin Unger</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Yes, of cause, it can be done.&lt;br /&gt;
Make sure you configure UART for 8 data bits. Any binary value loaded
to the UART&amp;#39;s tx register will be sent over the serial line.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
