Does the serial hardware have built-in support
for protocols such as SDLC and ModBus?

Because the serial hardware uses UARTs for communication, protocols
such as SDLC and ModBus are not supported in hardware. However,
these protocols (or their derivatives) can be supported by software
applications that handle the protocol translation.
