6.4.4. SystemC Processes

A SystemC thread, busThread, is provided to handle transactions arriving on the bus. A SystemC method, statically sensitive to writes to the Rx buffer is used to handle bytes arriving in the Rx buffer.

Note

	Note
Unlike threads, SystemC methods may not yield by calling `wait`. A SystemC method is started when one of its static sensitivities is triggered and runs to completion. It is suitable here, where it runs when a character is received, copying that character to the UART `RXBUF` register and then exiting. it is worth using SystemC methods whenever possible, because they can potentially be implemented more efficiently than threads.
