Hi, Dave

Hi Daniel,

Ok. I'm traveling this week and don't have my BeMicro with me. I'd like to check there are no synthesis warnings before I send you the code. Which version of Quartus are you using?

No problems, I'm not in a hurry with this. I'm using Quartus II 11.0.

Did you test the above procedure works for you? Can you get characters to echo? If so, you can create an SOPC system containing a NIOS processor and regular UART and connect that to the RX/TX pins.

Sounds like you might have had a logic error and your logic was synthesized away to nothing.

Try and implement the UART loopback and enable the VCP. That way you'll have made some progress.

I haven't tried this yet. All I have done was that tutorial, up to that part. Later today I will test the procedure you described. I will be more alert to logic errors this time.

Thanks,

Daniel K. Franch
