RS232 VHDL-core

There you go. And can we now stop requesting RS232 stuff? ;)

Xilinx offers a very nice UART core (+ 16 bytes fifo as an option) for free - it is includded in the PicoBlaze package. You can download it and use it - it has full documentation and it is working just fine. If you do not use Xilinx I'm sure that you can google for a UART core in the web. Regards, Moti.

Hi,

I searched the newsgroup but wasn't able to find anything!! It seems like somebody before me requested it! So thanks anyway!

Thanks, Preben

Sorry, but we can't :-)

There are still some packages missing to make it work:

In another posting on

There are also two packages that can be compiled to nicethings. (ascii_constants and ascii_functions). Are these former versions of nicethings ascii and nicethings.overloaded_std_logic_arith??

It would be nice if you could post the missing packages as well, so we can test your design.

Besides that, your RS232 core looks good and clearly coded, AND is one of the rare examples that supports RTS/CTS handshaking. I made a similar thing years ago with schematic entry. The q&d-VHDL port of that is quite unreadable and not suitable as a vhdl reference design. I would like to compare these two designs, if only I had the missing packages.

Hi Jan!

I know this might be a little too late to ask, but would you be so kind as to post here the libraries mentioned by backhus? I mean these:

Best regards, Sergiy.

You do realize that this thread is over 8 years old, right?

And frankly, anything that needs a package named "overloaded_std_logic_arith" would raise my suspicions about its worth.
