I want to know if there is anything slow down the handling of a 115200 baud uart. --- Quote End --- I understand that the non-FIFO UART receive does not work decently (loose characters) with more than some 2400 Baud. --- Quote Start --- 4. it is a interface to the remote update ip core. please read the data sheet and driver code to find out. I've tried it yet. --- Quote End --- I suppose you did not try it yet ? I'll talk to Frank Storm about this and will try to find out if there is a way to enhance this to a secure way of updating the FPGA design and the Software via FTP. This will involve at least two copies of both in the flash and use a mechanism that starts a working one of them (the "old should work anyway, the "new" might be the result of a corrupted update). The Cyclone III does handle this for the FPGA design by hardware, regarding the software the bootloader needs to do this. So I suppose this needs a different boot loader but the "Application Selector". --- Quote Start --- 5 --- Quote End --- Is this just another driver for the same hardware design ? -Michael
