Dear all, <BR> I would like to know if it's possible to create an interface from Virtex II-FPGA's to serial RS485 or RS232,please ? <BR> Do you have some application notes or technical issues for this problem,please? <BR> Thank you very much for your help. <BR> Best regards, <BR> Davide Canina

And, as Valentin said, you get some voltage level problems. Normally, one uses special RS232 or RS485 transceivers that are driven by standard levels. As for the logical part, you need to implement some standard UART functionality in your FPGA. If you don't know how to do that, have a look at the link Martin gave you, or check out www.opencores.org. Regards, Mario
