## Introduction
The [Serial communication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_communication) can be both _synchronous_ or _asynchronous_.
Here you can see how it works (unidirectional case):

When you use functions like _printf()_, _scanf()_, _puts()_, _gets()_ etc... inside your code, Miosix redirects them to one of the microcontroller's serial ports, called the **default** serial port. This is defined in `miosix/config/arch/<your_arch>/<your_board>/board_settings.h`, along with the default baudrate and other related configurations.
