Occasional ContributorDE10-Nano 1 Mega Baud Serial Transmission using UART
Hello sir,
The UART IP cannot work alone, it should be connected to a processor or a custom logic that take care of the initialization and processing of the IP. I have attached a design example for you to show how to connect UART with Nios II processor. Furthermore, it has a piece of C code to initialize and run a communication stream between two UARTs on the same board.
Thank you,
Occasional ContributorBut will that work on the DE10-nano SoC where the peripheral in question (UART) is located on the HPS rather than the FPGA? I understand how it would work on a board where the UART is located on the FPGA because the RX and TX pins can be mapped to the UART but when the UART is on the HPS I cannot directly map to those pins.

Frequent ContributorHello,
This is valid for FPGA side only. If you want to use the UART of HPS, this requires a modification on board level to map the pins, i.e. it can be used only when you want to build your custom board.
Thank you
