With the development of technology, RS232 serial communication is still widely used in industry. However, in commercial applications, the USB to UART technology has gradually replaced RS232 serial ports. Most laptops no longer have serial ports. So, how can we achieve communication between a microcontroller and a computer? We only need to add a USB … Read more
Source: Semiconductor Industry Alliance MCU is the abbreviation for Microcontroller Unit, commonly known as a microcontroller. It reduces the frequency and specifications of the CPU appropriately and integrates memory, counters, USB, A/D converters, UART, PLC, DMA, and even LCD driver circuits onto a single chip, forming a chip-level computer for different application scenarios. MCU can … Read more
When using PLCs, you will encounter many communication protocols and communication interfaces. 01 What Is Serial Communication? A serial port is a very common device communication protocol on computers (do not confuse it with Universal Serial Bus or USB). Most computers have two RS232-based serial ports. The serial port is also a common communication protocol … Read more

Power on the router and observe the startup log. Boot SPI NAND start read bootheader start … Read more
Outputting debugging information is an essential debugging tool in embedded development. One characteristic of embedded development is that often there is no operating system or file system, making conventional methods of printing logs to files generally unsuitable. The most common method is to output UART logs through a serial port. For example, with the 51 … Read more

Serial Communication Principles Serial communication refers to a method of transmitting data bit by bit between peripherals and computers through data signal lines, ground lines, etc. Serial ports are a type of interface standard that specifies the electrical standards of the interface, but does … Read more
Search on WeChat Technical Training RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 are all standards for serial data interfaces; Communication issues are similar to traffic issues, with various situations such as high speed, low speed, congestion, and interruptions. If we compare serial communication to traffic, UART is like a station, and a frame of data is like a … Read more
The RS232 type DB9 interface, which used to be found on older computers, can be connected to modems. In MCU51 microcontroller projects, this UART interface is generally used, with serial port rates of 115200bps, 57600bps, etc. Later, USB to serial converters like PL2302 and FT232 emerged, with rates reaching up to 921600bps, which is considered … Read more
