Implementing UART communication

This can be achieved with baud rates as low as 38400.

This is typical ;-)

It's not clear to me what you mean by this ... but you should have little difficulty

handling the scenario you describe ... even with a very modest cpu clock.

What is your question?

Hi Scott.

First of all thanks for the tips.

I will be happy to get some Nios II IDE code example for same scenario.

I want to understand how to use UART interrupts and to apply it in my application.

Regards .

Altera provide a driver for the UART, you don&#39;t need to worry about handling the interrupts from the UART. I suggest you either look at the hello world example or read the Nios II Software Developers Handbook.

I have the same question of how to receive and transmit data using UART interrupt .I have read the Nios II Software Developers Handbook and driver for the UART, but I don&#39;t know how to use the API function of HAL,

for example:

1,how to declare the "fd" parameter of alt_avalon_uart_read (alt_fd* fd, char* ptr, int len)?

2,Can I use the alt_avalon_uart_read (alt_fd* fd, char* ptr, int len) directly or use it throuth some other system function sush as read()?

can you give me some example about it ?
