UARTs and serial protocols are still in very widespread use. A large proportion of all embedded devices use them, which is arguably the majority of all computing systems sold.
What you're implying is historical is still current.
- gumby 6y agoYep, and I know that UARTS still have built in break detection but keyboards don’t have a BREAK key, or any rainbow book style “secure key to signal the computer” function any more. Even the power switches on Mac laptops (and I assume others), phones etc are soft functions. I haven’t designed an embedded device or serial protocol that used break since, well, ever. That’s why I was tickled to see this. Edit: just saw your uname — my use of the term “tickled” was coincidental
