#155047 - 'right now'
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The problem is that I have to be able to do it in both directions and right now due to the needs of an event in a higher-priority process
'right now' is a relative term. can you wait for a character transmit to complete? can you wait for a transmit string to complete?

It would be a lot easier to help you if you went into deatails about what you are doing ("a higher-priority process" is not very descriptive).

PS "switching the MCU clock rate" might not be needed if you are not locked into a specific derivative e.g. a 100MHz SILabs (with no divider before the UART timer) can run most baudrates well enough at any clock between 50 and 100 MHz
