Great! and any suggestion or other idea you feel fits better is welcome!

Hi @MGlolenstine, glad to hear you're creating a UART adapter. I like the idea 🙌🏻.

Sure it would need some kind of refactoring/redesign. I think the first question is, how to identify UARTs connections?

The SocketAddr returned by connect_with ends up in the Endpoint type used everywhere. I think the first change will be to allow the Endpoint type to hold several kinds of connections:

pub enum Addr {
    Network(SocketAddr),
    Device(/* UART addr here*/ )
}

pub struct Endpoint {
    resource_id: ResourceId,
    addr: Addr,
}

Then, you can now return an Addr::Device() from the connect_with() function. WDYT?

I have to admit that I've only barely scratched the surface of the library, and the above ideas I've gotten from the documentation (which is excellent, by the way).
Your idea will probably be much better than what I had, and I'll take a look later today and see if I can create a nice abstraction :)

Thank you!
