Hi,
I want to do an FPGA project, and for this "rather than using USB" id like to see if I can do a custom serial interface standard.
The main reason being, I dont want to deal with handshakes and pull up resistors or slow things down using a UC.
This is a verilog project, but Im more along the lines of using the computer to interface a GUI.
To give an idea of what I was thinking is to use a data bit, followed by a latch bit. So you get state, latch, state, latch on two wires.
Its no prob. if the interface is unidirectional going to the FPGA.
I was hoping to do this from Visual Basic.net but I can use some MASM to do this.
Hopefully somebody can help me out by saying hack into this or use this to create such an interface.
Regards,
