Development of a library in VHDL for handling data from a serial port

Abstract

This paper describes a VHDL-based library which allows to input data from serial port RS232, to save in interna1 memory and to visualize simultaneously data on a VGA monitor connected and LCD. The paper ilustrates the basic functionallity of the inputloutput ports of the FPGA Spartan IIE XC2S300E, serial data comunication and data exchange with periphal devices.
