UART in Verilog

This project implements a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) transmitter and receiver in Verilog.

• Design Files: Located in design files/ (uart_tx.v and uart_rx.v).
• Testbenches: Located in testbenches/ (tb_uart_tx.v and tb_baud_gen.v).

Simulation

To run the testbenches, you need Icarus Verilog and GTKWave installed.

Use the following commands as an example:

iverilog -o sim "design files/uart_tx.v" "testbenches/tb_uart_tx.v"
vvp sim
gtkwave wave.vcd

GTKWave Waveform (Tx Only)

This waveform demonstrates the simulation output for the UART transmitter module only.
