Arasan 16550D High Speed UART IP core is a 16550-compliant Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) with FIFO or expanded FIFO. The UART performs serial to parallel conversion of data ...

The UART resides in a single file and it was tempting ... You can still use the rest of the FPGA for high speed or highly parallel tasks. For example, this project could have easily had a NIOS ...
