Tom Soulanille / RTOS-Serial

An RTOS-friendly Serial interface Its primary benefit is that it never hogs the CPU. An amusing alternative to the traditional ring-bufferd interrupt-serviced systems, it uses short mbed-rtos queues to buffer characters to and from the UART, and a thread to service the transmitter. Short interrupt service routines enqueue received characters and signal the transmit thread when the transmitter is available. WARNING: Do not create RTOS-Serial objects before the RTOS is running! Put them inside your main() block or another function, not in the global initialization.
