Does SID initialize all its components ?

hello,

I wrote some assembly programs to comunicate with the
UART1 and UART2 serial ports of SID.
I was surprised that i didn't need to initialize
serial port before send the data to it.
Is it right that SID doesn't need any initialization
of its components before using them?
I noticed that in other assembly programs for ARM
board are used to initializing the serial ports before
sending some data to them.
This feature of SID is great but it can't to
understand how a serial port has to be
initialized....i wrote simple assembly programs for a
course at university.
Cheers.
