In DE10-NANO, can we add more UART interface on Arduino Headers?

[Bozkurthan]

Hello,

I'm newbie in FPGA and SoC programming. I have DE10-Nano and I read all tutorial from here https://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=205&No=1046&PartNo=4 .

In default FPGA base I'm using MRAA Library and it has really good API to work with sensors. I need 3 or 4 RX/TX headers for my applications. Even if I create custom QSYS, I don't know how to create driver. Is it enough to create Device Tree Source(DTS) which mentioned here?https://bitlog.it/hardware/building-embedded-linux-for-the-terasic-de10-nano-and-other-cyclone-v-soc-fpgas/

I mean, if I create RBF(Raw Binary File) and DTS files, can I use Arduino Headers as /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttyS2 ?

Is there any documentation I can follow to accomplish this?

I found these but no mention about UART.

Hi, First of all, welcome to FPGA & SoC world. Yes you can have mutli TX/RX on the PIO pins for sure. But the question here; are you going to do it using FPGA HDL only, NIOS II or embedded SoC. If you are new in FPGA I recommend you to use the NIOS II (Platform designer) which will give you the required application. Here you can search for design examples : https://fpgacloud.intel.com/devstore/platform/?acds_version=any Here is the references for you to use NIOS II : https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_embedded_ip.pdf https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/nios2/n2sw_nii52016.pdf Useful vedios by Intel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGteIQqNfvY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-K8VBa0Uk8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG2I56NKLQk Regards,
