-- # programmable BAUD rate via clock pre-scaler and 12-bit BAUD value configuration register,     #

-- # optional configurable RX and TX FIFOs.                                                        #

-- # This module is used for implementing UART0 and UART1. The UART_PRIMARY generic configures the #

-- # interface register addresses and simulation outputs for UART0 (UART_PRIMARY = true) or UART1  #

-- # (UART_PRIMARY = false).                                                                       #

-- #                                                                                               #

-- # SIMULATION MODE:                                                                              #

-- # When the simulation mode is enabled (setting the ctrl.ctrl_sim_en_c bit) any write            #

-- # access to the TX register will not trigger any UART activity. Instead, the written data is    #

-- # output to the simulation environment. The lowest 8 bits of the written data are printed as    #

-- # ASCII char to the simulator console.                                                          #

-- # This char is also stored to the file "neorv32.uartX.sim_mode.text.out" (where X = 0 for UART0 #

-- # and X = 1 for UART1). The full 32-bit write data is also stored as 8-digit hexadecimal value  #

-- # to the file "neorv32.uartX.sim_mode.data.out" (where X = 0 for UART0 and X = 1 for UART1).    #

-- # No interrupts are triggered when in SIMULATION MODE.                                          #
