Programming the serial interfaces consists of configuration, which occurs during POST, and
control, which occurs during runtime.

5.4.2.1 Serial

Interface Configuration


The serial interface must be configured for a specific address range (COM1, COM2, etc.) and also
must be activated before it can be used. Address selection and activation of the serial interface are
affected through the PnP configuration registers of the LPC47B357 I/O controller.
The serial interface configuration registers are listed in the following table:
