This means that the baud rate stays the same regardless of VPU speed. The PL011 UART controller is not linked to the VPU core frequency. This can cause problems at higher baud rates as it makes losing characters more likely. The mini UART controller has a smaller FIFO buffer than the PL011 UART controller. To fix this issue the VPU core frequency must be fixed which can either limit the speed of the Raspberry Pi or increase power consumption and heat generated depending on what speed the core frequency is set at.

This will cause problems as serial devices expect a constant baud rate during communication.

One issue with the “mini UART” controller is that its baud rate is linked to the VPU core frequency so as the VPU frequency changes depending on processor load so does the baud rate of the UART controller.

The “mini UART” port can be accessed using the /dev/ttyS0 device in Linux. That is, it is autonomous, with its own Baud Rate generator, and all the circuits necessary for its operation. The BCM2835 has two UARTs for serial links. The Raspberry Pi SoC is still based on the same hardware, the BCM2835. A related device, the universal synchronous and asynchronous receiver-transmitter (USART) also supports synchronous operation. One or more UART peripherals are commonly integrated in microcontroller chips. A UART is usually an individual (or part of an) integrated circuit (IC) used for serial communications over a computer or peripheral device serial port.

The electric signaling levels and methods are handled by a driver circuit external to the UART. UART on the 40 pin GPIO PI header The Raspberry Pi UARTsĪ Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter ( UART) is a computer hardware device for asynchronous serial communication in which the data format and transmission speeds are configurable. By default, the mini UART is mapped to the TXD ( pin 8 / GPIO 14) and RXD ( pin 10 / GPIO 15) on the 40 pin GPIO header and the PL011 UART is used for the Bluetooth/Wireless module but either module can be mapped to the GPIO port. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, B+, Pi Zero W contain two UART and Pi 4 four UART controllers which can be used for serial communication (more information here), the mini UART and PL011 UART.
