# Devices — Overview
Phase 1 continued: serial, input devices + README indexes
10_devices:
- serial.md: expanded with DB-25 pinout, custom chip UART registers,
baud rate calculation table, open/configure/read/write patterns,
serial debugging (KPrintF/Sushi)
- input.md: expanded with handler chain architecture diagram,
InputEvent struct, event classes table, qualifier bits, custom
handler with key remapping, event consumption/blocking,
synthetic event injection, Commodities Exchange
Updated indexes:
- 07_dos/README.md — enriched descriptions for all files
- 10_devices/README.md — enriched descriptions for all files

Amiga devices are shared libraries with an exec I/O request interface. They provide standardised access to hardware peripherals via `OpenDevice` /`CloseDevice` and `DoIO` /`SendIO` patterns.
