Hello,
I am a newbie with Xmos and I have tried to communicate StartKit with uart 1 bit port. I have read multiuart example with two 8bits ports (RX->8bit_port_A // TX->8bit_port_B). It is possible to use multiport bit for single uart? For example: RX-->pin_0_4bit_port_A // TX-->pin_1_4bit_port_A.
Thank you for your answer.
UART in multibits port.

You can just use multibit UART and ignore other bits of the ports.
If you need the other bits, you'd need to write a aggregating task and connect it to the UART task that has all its I/O operations replaced with channel/interface calls.

You can ignore bits of a port when reading, however you cannot have a port working as both an input and output port simultaneously. So you won't be able to use port 4A to simultaneously do UART RX and TX on different bits.
