Uart without Nios

Hi guy!! 

 

 

How can I use UART core without NIOS?? (I want to implement a UART port to Cyclone II without NIOS) 

 

 

Qsys has a UART (RS 232 Serial Port). UART has a Avalon Memory Mapped Slave, so I think if I want to use a UART without NIOS I need a Avalon Memory Mapped Master...... Am I correct whit that?.:confused: 

 

 

If I'm correct, Qsys gives me two Avalon MM Master........ avalon-mm master translator and avalon-mm master agent

So, Which should I use?:confused: 

 

 

Regards.

Just code up a UART module. The functionality is pretty simple and it is not difficult to implement exactly what you need. 

 

Or else just cheat and use google: http://www.asic-world.com/examples/verilog/uart.html

Thanks for reply!! 

 

Well, my idea is implement Qsys too, because I've never use it, therefore I want to implement a UART. 

 

Thanks for your code.
