The objective of this lesson is to understand UART, and use two boards and setup UART communication between them.

A micrcontroller can have multiple UARTs in its hardware, and usually UART0 is interfaced to a "USB to serial" converter chip which is then connected to your computer.  In this exercise, you will write a driver for UART-2 and attempt to communicate between two boards.

I encourage you to fully read this article first, and here is a video about the UART0 tutorial.  This is a FAST PACED video, so learn to pause the video and look over your LPC user manual frequently :)

* <b>Assignment Outline</b>
* Configure the PINSEL to use the pins for UART Rx/Tx
+
*: Form 2 people teams for this assignment.
* Initialize your UART at any baud rate
+
*: Write a driver for UART2 or UART3
* Write uart_putchar(char) and uart_getchar() functions
+
*: Do not use the pre-built driver or Uart2/3 class
* Interface your UART with someone else's board, and test the communication.
+
*: Connect your UART to your partner's UART (to his board)
 +
*: Prove that you can send/receive data across multiple boards.
 +
*: Upload Logic Analyzer Screenshot for the UART Frame.
 +
* <b>Extra Credit</b>:
 +
*: Use Uart interrupt to queue the received data to avoid polling. You just need to enable UART RX interrupt and then hookup an interrupt callback to do the receive.

* <b>Steps</b>
