+/**
+ * Base class for serial devices such as terminals.
+ *
+ * This class provides a unified interface that all serial (RS232 or
+ * similar) devices must implement. A device can be wired to exactly
+ * one host serial interface (serial port model).
+ *
+ * SerialDevices are passive devices that are <i>driven</i> by the
+ * serial interface using the writeData(c) (the interface sends a
+ * character) and readData() (the interface reads a character)
+ * methods. Serial devices need to override these methods to
+ * communicate with the host interface layer.
+ *
+ * To implement basic flow control, serial devices must implement the
+ * dataAvailable() method. This method returns true if a valid
+ * character can be read using the readData() method. When data
+ * becomes available, the serial device must call the
+ * notifyInterface() method to send a callback to the interface layer.
+ *
+ * To send a character (host to device), the interface layer calls
+ * writeData(char) to send a character to the serial device.
+ *
+ * To read a character (device to host), the interface layer calls
+ * dataAvailable() to determine if there is a character pending. If
+ * there is data available, it immediately calls readData() to get the
+ * character. The receive loop in the serial device typically looks
+ * like this:
+ *
+ * \code{.cc}
+ * while (device.dataAvailable()) {
+ *    printf("%c", (int)device.readData());
+ * }
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * To avoid polling, the interface layer may register a data available
+ * callback using the regInterfaceCallback() method. The device uses
+ * this callback to notify the interface layer whenever there is new
+ * data pending. Note that devices will normally only notify the
+ * interface layer when there is a state transition in the
+ * device. E.g., the dataAvailable() transitions from false to
+ * true. This means that there can be multiple pending characters when
+ * the interface layer receives the callback.
