Multiple serial communications interfaces increase design
flexibility, provide larger buffer size, and deliver higher
processing power. There are two 16C550 UARTs, two Fast 60-MHz, 32-bit ARM7TDMI-S core
with AHB and APB interfaces
I2C-bus (400 kbps) interfaces, and two SPI interfaces (one with
capabilities for buffering and variable data length).
