Claim:
1. A method comprising: receiving, via glue logic implemented in a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) device, data from either a computer processing unit (CPU) interface of a computing device or from a receiver interface; determining, by the glue logic, a source from which the data was received, wherein the determining the source comprises determining whether the data was received from either the CPU interface or the receiver interface; adding, by the glue logic, a most significant bit (MSB) to the data, wherein a value of the MSB represents the source from which the data was received and is based on whether the data was received from either the CPU interface or the receiver interface; and writing, by the glue logic, the data with the added MSB to a data buffering and storage component.
