The problem of wrong data transmission using ip uart (rs232 serial-port) with de10 standard board - The problem of wrong data transmission using ip uart (rs232 serial-port) with de10 standard board Hello Admin, I am newbie in the field SOC- FPGA. I need to do a project for my thesis but I have encountered a problem that I spent a lot of time but couldn't fix. I really need admin help. Thank you so much for reading this post of mine. The error is: I write C code to control IP UART (rs232 serial port) send data to the Tx pin and use the uart to usb module (CP2102) to receive data but the received data shows up wrong with the transmitted data. For example, transmitting the character "PLEASE" will get "O"; "1234" get "Ê",... Connect hardware (1) Connect hardware (2) data received from CP2102 displayed on hercules terminal I made the project with the following steps: 1. Add ip into GHRD project Qsys connection address map QSYS(1) address map QSYS(2) address map QSYS(3) 2. Assignments pin Assignments pin (GPIO 6 - RX, GPIO7-TX) File top.v(1) File top.v(2) 3. File hex use for code C Define for IP UART 4.

Regards, Kai Replies: Re: The problem of wrong data transmission using ip uart (rs232 serial-port) with de10 standard board Hi, Did you had issue with the Intel example item no 3? Replies: Re: The problem of wrong data transmission using ip uart (rs232 serial-port) with de10 standard board Hi, I am not familiar with these example design, so I may only give the best support for this issue. Also, I advise that you consult Terasic on your project for your DE10 board. Replies: Re: The problem of wrong data transmission using ip uart (rs232 serial-port) with de10 standard board Hi EBERLAZARE_I_In tel, connect hardware The first, I have looked for examples of uart of this IP but there are very few examples and only got 1 example made with the GHRD project from this links: 1. https://blog.csdn.net/weixin_43649647/article/details/121069892 2. Page 140 to page 155: https://www.intel.com/programmable/technical-pdfs/683130.pdf 3. Project example for Nios (but I must use with GHRD): https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design-example/715139/cyclone-v-uart-rs-232-maximum-baud-rate-reference-design.html?wapkw=uart Secondly, I got project GHRD from Terasic (CD Rom) or You can get at link I was upload: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Bse1dQUNYEjjC0GkylL1VpXxlSVzFtoI/view?usp=sharing Also, I think this problem may be caused by asynchronous transfer speed (baundrate) of the two devices or another error? But I don't know how to fit it. please help me to fix this error of wrong data transmission. Thank you very much. Regards, Kai Replies: Re: The problem of wrong data transmission using ip uart (rs232 serial-port) with de10 standard board Hi, Since your board is Terasic based, it is best that you also get help from Terasic. Do they have an example for this? Maybe a simple Hello World, and we can work from there. Also, where did you get this GHRD? Is it from Terasic?
