-.. method:: UART.irq(trigger, priority=1, handler=None, wake=machine.IDLE)
-
-   Create a callback to be triggered when data is received on the UART.
-
-       - *trigger* can only be ``UART.RX_ANY``
-       - *priority* level of the interrupt. Can take values in the range 1-7.
-         Higher values represent higher priorities.
-       - *handler* an optional function to be called when new characters arrive.
-       - *wake* can only be ``machine.IDLE``.
-
-   .. note::
-
-      The handler will be called whenever any of the following two conditions are met:
-
-          - 8 new characters have been received.
-          - At least 1 new character is waiting in the Rx buffer and the Rx line has been
-            silent for the duration of 1 complete frame.
-
-      This means that when the handler function is called there will be between 1 to 8
-      characters waiting.

-   Returns an irq object.

+.. method:: UART.irq(handler=None, trigger=0, hard=False)
+
+   Configure an interrupt handler to be called when a UART event occurs.
+
+   The arguments are:
+
+     - *handler* is an optional function to be called when the interrupt event
+       triggers.  The handler must take exactly one argument which is the
+       ``UART`` instance.
+
+     - *trigger* configures the event which can generate an interrupt.
+       Possible values are:
+
+       - ``UART.IRQ_RXIDLE`` interrupt after receiving at least one character
+         and then the RX line goes idle.
+
+     - *hard* if true a hardware interrupt is used.  This reduces the delay
+       between the pin change and the handler being called.  Hard interrupt
+       handlers may not allocate memory; see :ref:`isr_rules`.
+
+   Returns an irq object.
