-# UART Driver
+# UART Driver :id=uart-driver
The UART drivers used in QMK have a set of common functions to allow portability between MCUs.
Currently, this driver does not support enabling hardware flow control (the `RTS` and `CTS` pins) if available, but may do so in future.

-## Functions
+## API :id=api
-### `void uart_init(uint32_t baud)`
+### `void uart_init(uint32_t baud)` :id=api-uart-init
Initialize the UART driver. This function must be called only once, before any of the below functions can be called.
-#### Arguments
+#### Arguments :id=api-uart-init-arguments
- `uint32_t baud`
The baud rate to transmit and receive at. This may depend on the device you are communicating with. Common values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200.

- `uint8_t data`
The byte to write.

Return whether the receive buffer contains data. Call this function to determine if `uart_read()` will return data immediately.
-#### Return Value

`true` if the receive buffer length is non-zero.
