/**
 * Base class for serial devices such as terminals.
 *
 * This class provides a unified interface that all serial (RS232 or
 * similar) devices must implement. A device can be wired to exactly
 * one host serial interface (serial port model).
 *
 * SerialDevices are passive devices that are <i>driven</i> by the
 * serial interface using the writeData(c) (the interface sends a
 * character) and readData() (the interface reads a character)
 * methods. Serial devices need to override these methods to
 * communicate with the host interface layer.
 *
 * To implement basic flow control, serial devices must implement the
 * dataAvailable() method. This method returns true if a valid
 * character can be read using the readData() method. When data
 * becomes available, the serial device must call the
 * notifyInterface() method to send a callback to the interface layer.
 *
 * To send a character (host to device), the interface layer calls
 * writeData(char) to send a character to the serial device.
 *
 * To read a character (device to host), the interface layer calls
 * dataAvailable() to determine if there is a character pending. If
 * there is data available, it immediately calls readData() to get the
 * character. The receive loop in the serial device typically looks
 * like this:
 *
 * \code{.cc}
 * while (device.dataAvailable()) {
 *    printf("%c", (int)device.readData());
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * To avoid polling, the interface layer may register a data available
 * callback using the regInterfaceCallback() method. The device uses
 * this callback to notify the interface layer whenever there is new
 * data pending. Note that devices will normally only notify the
 * interface layer when there is a state transition in the
 * device. E.g., the dataAvailable() transitions from false to
 * true. This means that there can be multiple pending characters when
 * the interface layer receives the callback.
