Just check the voltage level of FPGA board, if it is 5V, then direct connect it. If it is lower voltage, example 3.3V, use logic converter, LC04A

OK, if the FPGA board have RS232 or DB9, you can either do it in 2 ways:
- Take a MAX232 and interface with Arduino TX and RX pin to create another RS232/DB9 connector at Arduino. You can always google for MAX232 or RS232.
- Get a RS232 shield and stack onto Arduino and use it directly
