Honored ContributorHello,
Don't know why baud rate should be negotiated. It is usually fixed by the application, in some cases may be autobaud. You only have to write a simple UART (or adapt an example from the internet, e. g. from opencores.org). With user specific UART designs, it is generally easier to achieve particular baud rates without a PLL, cause you are free to use non-standard oversampling counts in receiver. e. g. 13.
