description:
This document lists a set of generic properties for describing UARTs in a
device tree. Whether these properties apply to a particular device depends
on the DT bindings for the actual device.
Each enabled UART may have an optional "serialN" alias in the "aliases" node,
where N is the port number (non-negative decimal integer) as printed on the
label next to the physical port.

description:
The presence of this property indicates that the UART has dedicated lines
for RTS/CTS hardware flow control, and that they are available for use
(wired and enabled by pinmux configuration). This depends on both the
UART hardware and the board wiring.
Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
