13 years agointerfacing Altera Cyclone 3 FPGA to a peripheral using UART
Hi everybody, i'm working in my 1st project in FPGA Altera Cyclone 3 (EP3C25) and i have to connect a peripheral that have only an UART interface to my FPGA. which interface of the FPGA board i...

13 years ago --- Quote Start --- I dare say you need a UART interface on FPGA. How to connect it depends on what are you implementing inside FPGA. Talking strictly about connections, UART usually requires only a tx and a rx signal and possibly a RS232 transceiver. --- Quote End --- thanks cris i have to connect a wireless module (have only an UART interface for serial communication) to the FPGA . But i don't know how to implement it on the FPGA since i didn't find already a UART interface on FPGA. About connections i know that a UART connection need only a tx and rx but as i say after reading datasheet it seem there's no interface to connect directly the wireless module
