#176072 - Not always possible to select crystal just for UART
Responding to: ???'s previous message
In many circuits, you can't just select a crystal based on "best" baudrate matching for the simple reason that the UART isn't the only device in need of a specific frequency. There may be needs for a specific clock frequency for CAN or USB or similar, and the other devices may expect clock frequencies with many zeroes in them.

But as the clock frequencies of the processors are constantly climbing, it gets easier and easier to divide the input clock and get a close enough baudrate.
