SOFTWARE FLOW CONTROL . DOES INTEL atom z5xx support software handshaking?
What standard must be met to use Serial port with software handshaking ?

Typical software flow control is easy. The receiver transmits XOFF/XON
characters.  I leave looking up the ASCII codes for these as an
exercise to the reader.

So unless the hardware connection does not support bidirectional
transmission (I haven't used these products) then that's your answer.
Look up software flow control on wikipedia.
