procedure SerialPort_Init;

Initialize the serial port: set I/O directions and default states.


This procedure should be called in place of a BAUD() standard procedure call to initialize the port I/O.


The procedure generates a full setup of TX and RX pins if they are defined.

The baud rate is set according to the SERIAL_BAUD conditional define.


These initializations may be done in the main program (TRIS bits and TX high); this is mandatory for PICs without an implemented TRISIO, the TRIS and initial TX state have to be set in the main program.
