// Project:	wbuart32, a full featured UART with simulator
//
// Purpose:	Transmit outputs over a single UART line.  This particular UART
//		implementation has been extremely simplified: it does not handle
//	generating break conditions, nor does it handle anything other than the
//	8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit) UART sub-protocol.
//
//	To interface with this module, connect it to your system clock, and
//	pass it the byte of data you wish to transmit.  Strobe the i_wr line
//	high for one cycle, and your data will be off.  Wait until the 'o_busy'
//	line is low before strobing the i_wr line again--this implementation
//	has NO BUFFER, so strobing i_wr while the core is busy will just
//	get ignored.  The output will be placed on the o_txuart output line.
//
//	(I often set both data and strobe on the same clock, and then just leave
//	them set until the busy line is low.  Then I move on to the next piece
//	of data.)

	// All of the above logic is driven by the baud counter.  Bits must last
	// CLOCKS_PER_BAUD in length, and this baud counter is what we use to
	// make certain of that.
	//
	// The basic logic is this: at the beginning of a bit interval, start
	// the baud counter and set it to count CLOCKS_PER_BAUD.  When it gets
	// to zero, restart it.
	//
	// However, comparing a 28'bit number to zero can be rather complex--
	// especially if we wish to do anything else on that same clock.  For
	// that reason, we create "zero_baud_counter".  zero_baud_counter is
	// nothing more than a flag that is true anytime baud_counter is zero.
	// It's true when the logic (above) needs to step to the next bit.
	// Simple enough?
	//
	// I wish we could stop there, but there are some other (ugly)
	// conditions to deal with that offer exceptions to this basic logic.
	//
	// 1. When the user has commanded a BREAK across the line, we need to
	// wait several baud intervals following the break before we start
	// transmitting, to give any receiver a chance to recognize that we are
	// out of the break condition, and to know that the next bit will be
	// a stop bit.
	//
	// 2. A reset is similar to a break condition--on both we wait several
	// baud intervals before allowing a start bit.
	//
	// 3. In the idle state, we stop our counter--so that upon a request
	// to transmit when idle we can start transmitting immediately, rather
	// than waiting for the end of the next (fictitious and arbitrary) baud
	// interval.
	//
	// When (i_wr)&&(!r_busy)&&(state == `TXUL_IDLE) then we're not only in
	// the idle state, but we also just accepted a command to start writing
	// the next word.  At this point, the baud counter needs to be reset
	// to the number of CLOCKS_PER_BAUD, and zero_baud_counter set to zero.
	//
	// The logic is a bit twisted here, in that it will only check for the
	// above condition when zero_baud_counter is false--so as to make
	// certain the STOP bit is complete.
