9 years ago --- Quote Start --- Sorry that I am confused. For your working design, you must have seen the RS232 UART in BSP setting. But you are saying that you get "none". So which is correct? --- Quote End --- No problem ;-) what I did: a.) used the RSU AN741 template, generated a NIOS system, with an UART, which was working, I could "see" the UART in the BSP-Editor. However, the performance for our application wasn't sufficient, so we tried to install the 16550-UART, which has big FIFOs, which we thought would improve the performance on the serial line. b.) We added the a_16550_uart to our QSYS design, but it doesn't show up in the BSP editor. Only the "standard" uart_0 is there. c.) we removed the standard uart_0 from the QSYS, and now there aren't any UART anymore to select in the BSP editor. So, what are we doing wrong, that the a_16550_uart doesn't show up in the BSP editor, as an UART for stdin/stdout/stderr? thanks!
