I am looking to send a serial data stream from an FPGA to a Computer over UART RS-232. The data represents a 32bit signed fixed point number with 28 fractional length.
1.) Do i only need TD and RD or should I also use hardware handshaking - CTS RTS?
2.) My word size is 32bit. So this will take 4 consecutive byte transmissions with a Start and Stop bit?
3.) What is the best way to assemble and parse this data? Should I send a packet of 5 bytes? With the first byte uniquely signifying a new packet?
