+The embedded ecosystem is full of different protocols, hardware components and
+vendor-specific things that use their own terms and abbreviations. This Glossary
+attempts to list them with pointers for understanding them better.
+
+Term         | Meaning
+-------------|--------
+I2C          | Sometimes referred to as `I² C` or Inter-IC. It is a protocol meant for hardware communication within a single integrated circuit. See [i2c.info] for more details
+SPI          | Serial Peripheral Interface
+USART        | Universal synchronous and asynchronous receiver-transmitter
+UART         | Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter
+FPU          | Floating-point Unit. A 'math processor' running only operations on floating-point numbers
+PAC          | Peripheral Access Crate
