SW and HW UART

Hi All!
Any good example for software UART (SW) and retranslate data between SW and hardware (HW) UART on C51 using C - Keil Compiler? Using EXT0 Interrupt as receiver datect for "SW" Uart ?

  • Agree with Per, HW solutions should be used. However, if possible.
    If it is just for fun and not a commercial product, why not?
    But I do not like those endless discussions on forums, there will
    be always different opinions, so you may send an personal email
    to embedded-world at home dot se. For some questions I do have.
    If it helps, o.k., if not, also o.k.
    Best regards.

    because the "learning value" is a big fat ZERO

    well, if there were not "different opinions" why have a "discussion forum"

    Some read the forum title and assume it reads "solution providing place". Where a 'discussion' most likely will provide help, providiong nicely boxed shrink wrapped solutions is not the purpose.

  • Not at all!

    Implementing a UART in software requires understanding a lot of things which will be of general use - not least, how a UART actually works!
