What are some ways in which UART can have communication error?
The receiving UART may detect some mismatched settings and set a “framing error” flag bit for the host system; in exceptional cases, the receiving UART will produce an erratic stream of mutilated characters and transfer them to the host system.
What is a UART error?
A UART overrun is an error that occurs when the UART FIFO cannot keep up with data being received. You can resolve a UART overrun by increasing the UART from a one-byte buffer to a 16-byte buffer or purchasing a new UART.
Does UART have error correction?
UART is used as serial communication interface with error detection and correction.
What is UART overrun error?
Overrun error occurs when another byte of data arrives even before the previous byte has not been read from the UART’s receive buffer. This is mainly due to time taken by CPU to service the UART interrupt in order to remove characters from receive buffer.
What is UART and how it works?
In UART communication, two UARTs communicate directly with each other. The transmitting UART converts parallel data from a controlling device like a CPU into serial form, transmits it in serial to the receiving UART, which then converts the serial data back into parallel data for the receiving device.
What makes a UART not catch an error?
The kind of errors the UART hardware can catch are usually due to operator stupidity, not line noise. Most like noise will cause bad data, which the UART won’t detect. So the low level UART driver throws out anything immediately associated with a UART error, but otherwise continues to pass the stream of received bytes up to the next level.

Can a overrun error occur on both USARTs?
When receiving data from both USARTs simultaneously overrun errors can occur on one USART or the other. Doing some quick back of the envelope calculations there should be enough time to process both, as the interrupts are just simple copy the byte to a circular buffer.
What should I use for a UART connection?
Use long hookup wire (instead of a properly constructed serial cable) for the UART connection. There are many others–in fact, there are large testing labs dedicated to EMC qualification. In general, unless some minimal level of data loss is acceptable, it is always prudent to include some sort of error checking in your communications code.
