+This is the serial controller portion of the libchip library. This
+directory contains the source code for reusable console driver
+support code. Each individual driver is configured using the
+console_tbl data structure. This structure is defined and explained
+in the console.h file.
+
+The reusable chip drivers do not directly access the serial controller.
+They access the registers on the controller via a set of up to four
+functions which are provided by the BSP. These functins set and get
+general registers and data buffers. Some chips can access the data
+buffers as general registers and thus the driver may not require
+those interface routines.
