Data Exchange
The following illustrations show different data exchanges using the serial module.
Data Sent with the Serial Port
Data is sent out of the serial port using the following steps:
1. The controller sends out the consumed packet with an incremented TxID.
2. The serial module puts the packet into the TxBuffer.
3. The serial module takes the oldest data from the TxBuffer and sends it out
to the target.
