esp-idf-hal/examples/uart_loopback.rs

//! UART loopback test
//!
//! Folowing pins are used:
//! TX    GPIO5
//! RX    GPIO6
//!
//! Depending on your target and the board you are using you have to change the pins.
//!
//! This example transfers data via UART.
//! Connect TX and RX pins to see the outgoing data is read as incoming data.
