12 years agoHi Equinox,
I don't know what can be your problem. I have used the example code above and it was working well with my hardware: pc hyperterminal <-> ftdi chip <-> nios with fifoed uart. maybe read again the documentation: http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/fifoed_avalon_uart set the same rate at both side of the uart and try first a slow rate. If it still doesn't work you can try to instantiate 2 uarts in a nios then connect them together (uart1_rx<->uart2_tx / uart1_tx<->uart2_rx). Then in a nios software project try to send data and receive data, maybe only a simple char first. It will help you to understand how it works. good luck.
