*Example:

==== baud ====
*Default: 57600
*Range: 0-10000000
*Some supported baud rates: 10000000, 5000000, 2500000, 2000000, 1000000, 115200, 57600

Notice that not all baud rates are possible. BGBuild compiler tries to find best match with least amount of error and outputs the result.

*Example:
**stopbits="2"
parity Parity to use
Values:
odd: use odd parity bit
even: use even parity bit
none: no parity bit
Default: none
Example:
parity:"odd"

Attribute Value - Description
handshake RTS/CTS for data flow control
Values:
true: RTS/CTS flow control is used
false: RTS/CTS flow control is not used*
Default: false
Example:
handshake="true"
Streaming mode
When using UART in streaming mode ( ), it is highly recommend to use RTS api="false"
/CTS data flow control (handshake="true") to ensure reliable data transfer.
api UART is used for BGAPI protocol
Values:
true: UART is used for BGAPI protocol
false: UART is used for application data
Default: false
Example:
api="true"
When , there should be an application receiving the BGAPI responses and events true
at the host, otherwise the module might get stuck.

==== BGAPI / config ====
Using BGAPI over UART interface
The example below shows how to configure BGAPI to be used over UART2 interface with 115200 bps baud rate and hardware flow control.
Using BGAPI over UART2 and enabling UART1 to BGScript applicationThe example below shows how to configure BGAPI to be used over UART2 interface and UART1 interfaceaccess is given to a BGScript application.This is used in multiple example applications delivered with the Bluegiga Wi-Fi Software. The purpose is forexample to use UART1 for BGScript debugging and UART2 for DFU firmware updates.WF121 Project<pre>
