UART IP? (Newbie)

[Altera_Forum]

New to FPGAs and Quartus. I have a DE0 board. I have manged to write and compile VHDL to diddle LEDs etc. Now I am trying to use some of the Altera IP. I have followed the tutorial and added the NIOS core and memory to my design. I would like to add a UART for debugging purposes. 

 I cannot find a UART in the plug-in manager. Is there one or is this something that requires $$?  Thanks  Rich

Have a look at OpenCores.

I know the DE0 Example SD_CARD example actually has a UART instantiated.
