The UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) core provides serial

communication capabilities, which allow communication with modem or other external

devices, like another computer using a serial cable and RS232 protocol. This core is

designed to be maximally compatible with the industry standard National

Semiconductors’ 16550A device.
