Introduction

The serial port protocol is one of the most long lived protocols currently in use. According to wikipedia, it has been standadized in 1969. First, a note: here we're talking about the RS232 serial protocol. This note is necessary because there are many other serial protocols, like SPI, I2C, CAN, and even USB and SATA.

Some time ago, when the Internet connections were done using a 56k modem, the serial port was the most common way of connecting a modem to a computer. Now that we have ADSL modems, the serial ports have disappeared from newer computers, but the protocol is still widely used.

In fact, most microcontrollers, even the newer ones have one or more peripherals capable of communicating using this protocol, and from the PC side, all operating system

Effective Modern CMake

Getting Started

For a brief user-level introduction to CMake, watch C++ Weekly, Episode 78, Intro to CMake by Jason Turner. LLVM’s CMake Primer provides a good high-level introduction to the CMake syntax. Go read it now.

After that, watch Mathieu Ropert’s CppCon 2017 talk Using Modern CMake Patterns to Enforce a Good Modular Design (slides). It provides a thorough explanation of what modern CMake is and why it is so much better than “old school” CMake. The modular design ideas in this talk are based on the book [Large-Scale C++ Software Design](https://www.amazon.de/Large-Scale-Soft

Update 28 July 2019: An updated version of this guide for Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS is now available. Feel free to check it out.

Update 23 May 2020: This guide is ALREADY OUTDATED and might no longer work with new versions of Ubuntu and VirtualBox. Please consider switching to the updated guide instead. I will no longer respond to the replies to this gist. Thank you.
