<div>The serial baud rates are derived from a clock, which is
divided by a divider (and then usually divided again by 4).<br>
you can set the baud rate to any tandard one (if supported
by hardware).<br>
however you can simply supply the divide_by value (if
hardware supports that, not all hw does, many usb-serial
e.g. pl2303 based , does not support that).<br>

I'm not sure what SoC the Sheeva is using, but doesn't it have
external memory access pins you can hook your FPGA to? Wouldn't that
be much faster than anything a UART will provide (and not be
considerably more difficult to implement in FPGA)?<br>
