"Scare" me?  It's not possible for you to "scare" me.  What you're doing
is annoying me by contaminating this list with a shitload of questions
that, however valid, honest, sincere, well-intentioned, etc., DO NOT have
anything to do with programmable logic, and specifically "cores", which is
what (specifically) "opencores" is about.

If you want to learn about RS-232, go research it SOMEWHERE ELSE.  Read
the EIA RS-232 specification.  Do a google search - I'm sure you'll find 
many extensive treatise on the subject in lots of places - but not here.  
Go get the transceiver data sheets.  Go get data sheets for UARTS from the
companies that make UARTS.  Blow all the caps you want.

But PLEASE limit your question in this forum to the subjects covered by 
its mandate.
