2 years agoUART Access in Altera Cyclone V DE1 Board
Greetings. As the UART module is connected to the HPS side of the FPGA. Is there anyway to access the UART peripheral from the FPGA side using verilog language without the use of NIOS II. (More prec...

2 years agoHi,
the question can be answered in two regards.
1. Can you implement UART function in HDL? Yes, there are many code examples on the internet.
2. Can the FPGA UART use dedicated HPS UART pins? Not in Cyclone V SoC. In so far FT232 on DE1 SoC board can only connect to HPS UART.
