The WonderSwan's EXT port features an UART operating with the following configuration:
- 9,600 or 38,400 bps (bauds per second),
- 8N1 (8 data bits followed by 1 stop bit, no parity).
This allows for an effective maximum transfer speed of 960 or 3840 bytes per second, respectively.
The hardware also features one-byte transmit and receive buffers, which allow for a slight delay in code when handling data to/from the console.
Interrupts
The UART features two interrupts:
- UART Send Ready - constantly active while the transmit buffer is empty (Serial Status bit 2),
- UART Receive Ready - constantly active while the receive buffer contains a byte (Serial Status bit 0).
