I do not use arduino, i use avrgcc with atmega328p and atmega8.
The usi module can be used to implement spi, twi also known as i 2 c and uart serial interfaces. Many devices can communicate this way, from wifi routers to gps. Most noticeable in the pins of the com port is the 3 pin 0v sg signal ground, txd data transmitter pins and rxd data receiving pins. Arduino pins can be used as uart using the library softwareserial. The binaries are built from source on a debian 10 virtual machine with mingw gcc 9. When a byte is received on uart, the interrupt is triggered and value received is transmitted instead. Timercounter interrupts conflicting with uart but since that problem is a showstopper, id like to see if i get some comments here. Instead of using this long expression lets stick to usart. Add a description, image, and links to the avr gcc topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it. The virtual com port can be opened in a terminal emulator running on the pc and data can then be sent and received between the terminal emulator and microcontroller uart. The software uart library provides easy communication with other devices via the rs232 protocol.
The top reasons to integrate a microcontroller into your projects are connectivity and interactivity, and one easy way to get your microcontroller talking with the outside world is standard asynchronous serial io. The remaining pins can also be used if the user has some knowledge of the pcs register organization. Code c avrgcc software transmitonly uart avr freaks.
