Solution
Programatically Setting the Baud Rate
While programming in FPGA Mode, you can configure the baud rate of each port programatically with the FPGA I/O property node.
In the property node, click the element and select
Baud Rate Divider and
Baud Rate Prescaler. All possible baud rates are determined by the following equation:
Baud Rate = 3686400 / (Divider * Prescaler)
Divider can be between 1 and 65535
Prescaler can be 1 or 4.
Non-Programatically Setting the Baud Rate
The baud rate for each port can also be configured in the Module Properties.
- Right click on the 987x module in the Project Explorer and select Properties.
- Check and set the Desired Baud Rate with Divider and Prescaler values. The Baud Rate is calculated as per the above equation.
- Note that if an entered Desired Baud Rate is outside of the possible baud rates per the above equation, the Actual Baud Rate will be a different value with a %Error.
