--- Quote End --- UARTs in SOPC Builder are configurable. You need to make the divisor register writeable in SOPC Builder and then you can initialize your UART to run at your desired rate. If you use properly shielded cables and other good EMI design practices you will have no worries with RS232. If error rates are a concern then packetize your data and do a CRC check on the packets.
