Stuck in Interrupt Handler

Hi all. I am fairly new to NIOS II development, although I have been working with Altera FPGA's for some time. I need to implement serial ports and have been fighting with the NIOS II UART...

Hi Jim,

Unfortunately a huge number of threads about UARTs from the last 2 years has been wiped from this forum along with everything else. As an embedded programmer you should be pleased to know that the NIOS UART can be handled exactly like the UARTs you know and love. I and many others use the standard UART extensively with no OS, no HAL drivers, just good old Receiver Full/Transmitter Empty interrupts. It should work exactly as you'd expect.

Cheers
