Hi,
I am new to RS232 Serial Port from DE2 board. May I know what is the relationship between RS232 with UART in DE2 board? I would like to development GUI to control the all the leds light blinking and i would like to have data communication between GUI and the serial port from DE2 board. May I know how to start? Also, I would like to use MFC to development my GUI. Does MFC suitable to be chosen for this purpose? if not, which programming is suitable? Thanks!Link Copied

By MFC, I presume you mean Microsoft Foundation Class Library?
On the PC side, you can use any platform that you feel confortable and provides acess to the COM ports. MFC is fine. There is no actuall UART in the DE2 board. There's just a 232 transceiver. You need to implement a FPGA design that includes the UART and whatever more logic you'll need to control the leds. There are plenty of free UART designs floating arround the Internet.
