关于cortex A8的Uart的特征

• IrDA 

  ♦ Dedicated IrDA for v1.1 (1.152Mpbs and 4Mpbs) 
  ♦ SIR(111.5kbps) mode is supported by the URAT IrDA 1.0 block 
  ♦ Internal 64-byte Tx/Rx FIFO 
• UART 
  ♦ 4-channel UART with DMA-based or interrupt-based operation 
  ♦ Supports 5-bit, 6-bit, 7-bit, or 8-bit serial data transmit/receive 
  ♦ Supports external clock for the UART operation (UCLK) 
  ♦ Programmable baud rate 
  ♦ Supports IrDA 1.0 SIR (115.2Kbps) mode 
  ♦ Loop back mode for testing 

  ♦ Non-integer clock divides in Baud clock generation (BRM)  

下边是ARM 920T核心的s3c2410的Uart的一些feature：

FEATURES
— RxD0, TxD0, RxD1, TxD1, RxD2, and TxD2 with DMA-based or interrupt-based operation
— UART Ch 0, 1, and 2 with IrDA 1.0 & 16-byte FIFO
— UART Ch 0 and 1 with nRTS0, nCTS0, nRTS1, and nCTS1
— Supports handshake transmit/receive

综上可以看出A8比s3c2410多了一个串口；Irda 还是准寻的是1.1的标准，对FIFO的支持，多了两个 MIR and FIR mode，FIFO的size达到了64-byte,

支持Back-to-Back传输
