32 bit data transmitt through rs232 protocol

I am new in VHDL programming. I have an output of counter of 32-bit 
data. Now I want to transmit the 32 bit through the rs232 protocol which 
can send 8-bit data once. I am attaching my UART file, DCFIFO of 32 to 
8-bit mix file baud rate generator file and the counter file. Can 
anybody help me how to port map them to get 32-bit data transmitted?

I would suggest a state machine to control the transmisson:
1
type transmit_state_t is (IDLE, BYTE0, BYTE1, BYTE2, BYTE3, STOP);
2

3
constant STX : natural := 2;    -- start of text
4
constant ETX : natural := 3;    -- end of text
5

6
...
7

8
tx_enable      <= '0';
9

10
case transmit_state is
11

12
    when IDLE =>
13
        if new_data then
14
            tx_enable      <= '1';
15
            tx_data        <= to_unsigned( STX, tx_data'length);
16
            transmit_state <= BYTE0;
17
        end if;
18

19
    when BYTE0 =>
20
         tx_enable      <= '1';
21
         tx_data        <= data( 7 downto 0);
22
         transmit_state <= BYTE1;
23
...
24
    when STOP =>
25
         tx_enable      <= '1';
26
         tx_data        <= to_unsigned( ETX, tx_data'length);
27
         transmit_state <= IDLE;
28

29
end case;
30

31
...

I add STX and ETX to get a chance to synchronice the whole sequence on 
the receiver.
