Hello. Yesterday I came across Application Note #69 in QuickLogic's site, "Open Source 16550 UART Core" (http://www.quicklogic.com/images/appnote69.pdf). Basically it is just a manual of the 16550 and its signals written by David Shih and Andreea Rotaru at Quicklogic. Since there was no reference for the code neither in the document nor in the web site, I wrote to QuickLogic's support email asking for pointers for their "open source" code. Today I received an email from them, with --surprise, surprise-- an attachment of a tar ball of Igor Mohor and Jacob Gorban's 16550 UART core. How come? I am completely puzzled. The PDF document never mentions Opencores or Igor or Jacob's names... I still can't connect the dots. Peace. -- /"We're just sitting here trying to put our PCjrs PabloBleyerKocik / in a pile and burn them. And the damn things won't pbleyer / burn. That's the only thing IBM did right with it @embedded.cl / - they made it flameproof." William Bowman (1983)

Sorry to reply to my own email, but it seems somebody from QuickLogic
reads this list also ;^) They just sent me the correct files for the
appnote. Thanks to QuickLogic and sorry for the hassle. It seems we open
source guys are a bit paranoid these days with all the trials and
tribulations ;^)

Cheers!
