Hello,
In fact, I worked with XUPV5-LX110T evaluation platform (Xilinx).
Indeed, I tried to send a data from Matlab script (communication protocol) on the RS-232 serial port, where:
- I use the RS-232 Null Modem (DB9) Female-Female between the computer and the platform;
- The data sent is 8 bits comply with the standard;
- The serial port (on the platform) is interfaced with the FPGA by referring to XUPV5-LX110T user constraints file .ucf (RXD0 - RXD7) (the UART module is already on the platform)
Control pins

NET PHY_RXD7 LOC="F33"; # Bank 11, Vcco=2.5V or 3.3V user selectable by J20
- The FPGA is connected only to the TX and RX data pins on the serial port (by referring to the manual);
- I checked that I’m getting expected data at serial port of my machine properly by doing the loopback, I send and receive the same data. I use RealTerm to send and capture data on the port (For the Baudrate, when I set it at 9600, the communication works fine according that I had as boot loading the platform (bootloader menu) using RealTerm).
- I implemented a VHDL description that is used to link the pins RXD0--RXD7 with GPIO_LED_0--GPIO_LED_7 respectively in order to check if I have the same data (sent and received) and I downloaded the Bit stream configuration file .bit (I verified my VHDL description in ModelSim by making a testBench; it works fine).
NET GPIO_LED_0 LOC="H18"; # Bank 3, Vcco=2.5V, No DCI
NET GPIO_LED_1 LOC="L18"; # Bank 3, Vcco=2.5V, No DCI
NET GPIO_LED_2 LOC="G15"; # Bank 3, Vcco=2.5V, No DCI
NET GPIO_LED_3 LOC="AD26"; # Bank 21, Vcco=1.8V, DCI using 49.9 ohm resistors
NET GPIO_LED_4 LOC="G16"; # Bank 3, Vcco=2.5V, No DCI

NET GPIO_LED_6 LOC="AD24"; # Bank 21, Vcco=1.8V, DCI using 49.9 ohm resistors
NET GPIO_LED_7 LOC="AE24"; # Bank 21, Vcco=1.8V, DCI using 49.9 ohm resistors
I started to send a data using Matlab Script (given that Matlab returns no problem in the command window), but there is no change on the LEDs.
I want to know if I need to instantiate the control pins of the port in my VHDL description (eg PHY_RXCLK may be it requires a clock to operate the UART Module)? or I can use just the RXD0—RXD7?
Please can someone help me to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
