12 MMUART Peripherals

Multi-mode Universal Asynchronous/Synchronous Receiver/Transmitter (MMUART) performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data originating from modems or other serial devices, and performs parallel-to-serial conversion on data from the Cortex-M3 processor or fabric master to these devices. SmartFusion 2 SoC FPGAs contain two identical MMUART peripherals in the microcontroller subsystem (MSS MMUART_0 and MSS MMUART_1), that provide software compatibility with the popular 16550 UART device.
