Does it have a 100-mil header for GPIO?
Buy an FTDI UM245R module from Digikey for $20 and it'll give you a USB-to-Serial interface to the board. The FPGA interfaces to the UM245R via an 8-bit parallel FIFO mode (8-bits data, and 4 control signals for the FIFO).
MATLAB can then talk to the board like its a serial port.

Hi Dave,
I am able to read data from FPGA to Nios processor, then transmit this data to Uart component created in Qsys.
Can I ask one silly question, I still do not understand why do I need FTDI UM245R module?
Without FTDI UM245R module, I thought MATLAB can still talk to serial port, isn't it?? Please correct me if this is wrong.
Thank you
