# 'serial' Driver
This driver powers the [Split Keyboard](feature_split_keyboard.md) feature.
!> Serial in this context should be read as **sending information one bit at a time**, rather than implementing UART/USART/RS485/RS232 standards.

Along with the generic options above, you must also turn on the `PAL_USE_CALLBACKS` feature in your halconf.h.
### USART Half-duplex
Targeting STM32 boards where communication is offloaded to a USART hardware device. The advantage is that this provides fast and accurate timings. `SOFT_SERIAL_PIN` for this driver is the configured USART TX pin. **The TX pin must have appropriate pull-up resistors**. To configure it, add this to your rules.mk:

#define SERIAL_USART_TX_PAL_MODE 7 // Pin "alternate function", see the respective datasheet for the appropriate values for your MCU. default: 7
```
You must also turn on the SERIAL feature in your halconf.h and mcuconf.h
You must also enable the ChibiOS `SERIAL` feature:
* In your board's halconf.h: `#define HAL_USE_SERIAL TRUE`
* In your board's mcuconf.h: `#define STM32_SERIAL_USE_USARTn TRUE` (where 'n' matches the peripheral number of your selected USART on the MCU)
Do note that the configuration required is for the `SERIAL` peripheral, not the `UART` peripheral.
