What are the RS-232 and Transistor-Transistor-Logic (TTL) voltage level?

Voltage RS-232 TTL
0 [+3V;+25V] 0V
1 [-3V ;-25V] Vcc (usually 3.3V or 5V)

What is DCE and DTE?

DCE stands for Device Communications Equipment.

DTE stands for Device Terminal Equipment.

Signal DCE DTE
RX out in
TX in out
CTS out in
RTS in out

On the NXP i.MX6 the convention is a little different:

Signal i.MX6 DCE i.MX6 DTE
RX in out
TX out in
CTS out in
RTS in out

Bluetooth module, modems and GPS are generally DTE while computer are DCE.
