+This module adds interrupt driven receive on UART 0. Using semaphores, a thread
+calling read(...) when no data is available will block in an RTOS expected
+manner until data arrives. 
+
+This allows for a background thread running a serial terminal in your program
+for debugging and state inspection consuming no CPU cycles at all. Not using
+this module will make that thread while(1) until data arrives.
+
+No code changes are needed for adding this module, all you need to do is to add
+it to EXTRA_COMPONENTS and add the directive configUSE_COUNTING_SEMAPHORES from
+FreeRTOSConfig.h in examples/terminal to your project.
