Howdy,

>      what is UART address..

In general the UART is the "universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter"
that is used within TinyOS for serial communications between a mote and
a PC.  Some microcontrollers have hardware support for more than one
UART.  The "UART address" may refer to which of these interfaces are
being used.  This could be a logical address (ie. the second UART) or
the actual hardware register used to interface with the UART (ie.
0x40100000).

Beyond that, a bit more context would help answer your question.  Can
you point us to a source file or web page that prompted you to ask this
question?

Peace,
-Roy
