Connecting the Blocks

Assemble the project with the following configuration:

uart_rx Block

• Inputs:
  • clk → system clock
  • uartRx → UART input pin
• Outputs:
  • rxByte → connects to the logic block
  • byteReady → connects to both the logic block and uart_tx
    
    

uart_logic_const Block

• Inputs:
  • clk → system clock
  • rxByte → from rxByte output of uart_rx
  • byteReady → from byteReady output of uart_rx
  • compareChar → constant value (e.g., 8’h61 = 'a')
    
• Output:
  • signal → connects to LED (led0)
    
    

uart_tx Block

• Inputs:
  • clk → clock
  • reset → button (b0)
  • tx_data → receives rxByte from uart_rx
  • tx_data_valid → receives byteReady from uart_rx
    
• Output:
  • tx_pin → connects to the UART TX output pin
  • tx_data_ready → not used in this simple project
