 * `bits` is the number of bits per character. Can be `5, 6, 7 or 8`.
 * `parity` is the parity, `None`, UART.EVEN or UART.ODD.
 * `stop` is the number of stop bits, `1 or 2`.

+* `timeout_chars` Rx timeout defined in number of characters. The value given here will be multiplied by the time a characters takes to be transmitted at the configured `baudrate`. The maximum value is 255
 * `pins` is a 4 or 2 item list indicating the TXD, RXD, RTS and CTS pins (in that order). Any of the pins can be `None` if one wants the UART to operate with limited functionality. If the RTS pin is given the the RX pin must be given as well. The same applies to CTS. When no pins are given, then the default set of TXD (P1) and RXD (P0) pins is taken, and hardware flow control will be disabled. If `pins=None`, no pin assignment will be made.
-* `rx_buffer_size` is the size of the buffer used for storing the RX packets. By default is is 512 bytes.
+* `rx_buffer_size` is the size of the buffer used for storing the RX packets. By default is is 4096 bytes (characters). The minimum buffer size is 128 bytes.
