 Because each DMA buffer must be at least 5 bytes deep, each buffer is automatically flushed after a certain idle period to ensure low latency and correctness. This idle timeout is implemented using 2 of the 4 channels on RTC instance 2. This leaves RTC0 for the SoftDevice and RTC1 for Mbed tickers.

-To minimize the time spend in the highest priority interrupt handler all callbacks to the user provided IRQ handlers are deferred through Software Interrupts running at lowest priority. SWI 2-5 are reserved by the serial implementation.

 #### Limitations
 
  * The UARTE hardware only supports 8-bit, None/Even parity, and 1 stop bit.
  * The asynchronous read and write implementation currently only support 255 byte transfers.
  * The EasyDMA hardware can only read from RAM, which means all Tx buffers must reside in RAM. If a Tx buffer residing in flash is passed to the asynchronous write function, the function will try to copy the Tx buffer to a temporary internal buffer and transmit the data from there.
  * It is not possible to do an asynchronous write from flash and receive non-asynchronously at the same time since the non-asynchronous receive buffer is being used as the temporary transmission buffer.
+ * The driver will flush the DMA buffer after a configurable timeout. During this process the UART will be halted and therefor unable to receive data. Hardware flow control should be enabled to avoid missing any data during this window.
