Sending DATA FROM LAPTOP TO DE2

Question

Hello

I am very very green to altera and i am facing a difficult problem .

I Need to create communication link between DE2 board to laptop.(basically i am simulating transmitter and receiver laptop is transmitter and fpga (DE2 board) is receiver.)

What is the eseyest way to do it?from what i red at DE2 datasheet there is an usb connector so i was thinking to connect usb to usb cable from laptop to DE2.

Laptop will see it as a virtual com but what will see the DE2 and how do i recive the data?

Thx.

If there is an FTDI usb to com converter, your laptop will be able to send/receive com port data's on the virtual com port, in your fpga you can then use/drive the uart lines.

Thx,So bsicly from what i understand i need to buy a cable tha on side will be usb that i will see on my laptop as virtual com and on another side it will be rs232 that will be connected to fpga DE2,

Do i need to use nyos2 for reading data from the uart that operating RS232 on the DE2 board or i can read it like in micro controllers evaluation board with already build drivers something like include uart.h and then just use red and write ?

Thx!!!!!
