Hello all,

I have a few things uncertain about USART on TelosB.

1) This may be naive, but I'm really curious why USART is needed in the
first place. Why can't the CPU talk to, say, CC2420 directly since
they are wired
together<http://webs.cs.berkeley.edu/tos/hardware/telos/telos-revb-2004-09-27.pdf>
?

2) What components/devices/peripherals are communicating with CPU via
USART? Via which one (USART0 or USART1) and in which mode (UART, SPI, or
I2C)?

3) Can USART0 and USART1 be used in parallel? For instance, can a strobe be
sent to CC2420 using USART0 while the RSSI register on CC2420 is being read
using USART1?

Your explanation will be highly appreciated.
