+ * This is a variation of the Serial class that doesn't use streams,
+ * thus making it safe to use in interrupt handlers with the RTOS.
+ *
+ * Can be used for Full Duplex communication, or Simplex by specifying
+ * one pin as NC (Not Connected)
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * @code
+ * // Send a char to the PC
+ *
+ * #include "mbed.h"
+ *
+ * RawSerial pc(USBTX, USBRX);
+ *
+ * int main() {
