AVR USART Driver
Description(top)
This is a small driver for the AVR USART. It should work (I think) on any AVR with a USART peripheral (tested only on Attiny2313), but if you get errors about register names then colour me wrong.
The driver provides synchronous reading and writing functionality, with an optional timeout on reads. The write has a buffer, which is filled as quickly as possible to allow for non-blocking writes for messages up to the length of the buffer.
The read function utilises a 16-byte circular buffer to allow high data throughput. The code is semi-interrupt driven, making use of the the USART interrupts.
Having spent a good deal of time writing drivers since completing this one, it's clear that I could optimise this code and make it entirely interrupt driven, however who has the time!?
