Xilinx Boards and Kits

Hi I am using Spartan 3A-3400 DSP kit for implementing AES. The kit is having an RS232 interface on it. Do I need to incorporate the UART code in the verilog code for AES? Anyone one having any idea about it, please help.

The EIA-232 spec defines signal levels, and is not interested in the protocol attached to the signals.

If you want a UART in the design, you have to design one in.

UARTs are a homework assignment for university juniors.

hi,

     if you want to check your generated ciphertext on the hyperterminal u certainly need to use UART core and instead of writing the core an IP core haas been given by Xilinx...
