altera uart has no fifo buffer 921 kbit/s, that means (start bit+8 data bit + stopbit) ~ 92000 byte/s -> ~ every 10us will a receive interrupt be triggered and must be handled before the next character arrives. if any other interrupt in your system will run longer than 10us and you do not work with nested interrupts, which is not quite simple, then you will loose characters. i think it's hard to get 115kbaud working, if you have other interrupts running. if you use e.g. opencores uart with fifo, the uart can receive 14 characters until receive interrupt is triggert, this are ~140 us at 921 kbit/s. you can run the uart at 921kbit/s, but if you get a continuous data stream, you cannot handle this datastream with the altera uart.
