DIY RS232 Interface With PLD/FPGA
Posted March 1, 2012 by Chris
“In this article we explore the flexibilty and capability of FPGAs and specifically CPLDs for creating an RS232 serial interface. Our main goal will be to send ASCII codes from a PC to our CPLD Dev Board and display them on a 7 segment LED for verification. ”
