    Hello I just got my Neo and I'm excited with the possibilities of having two on-chip cores. I would like to know what is the maximum data rate provided by the Serial object that implements the intra-core communications. I believe it uses shared memory between the cores, so I expect it to have a significant high speed compared to hardware UARTs. The example in the documentation uses 115200 bps, but I think it should be higher, am I right?

    As you said the serial uses a shared memory so the baudrate field is not used. The serial is virtual so there's not a real baudrate. The speed of writing on the shared memory is close to real time, not quantifiable as a serial baudrate.
