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??

If you look back at the start of this thread, the person that originally asked the question indicated that their kit did not have a UART interface.
If the development kit you are using has a built-in RS232 interface or USB-to-UART interface, then you do not need an FTDI device.
If someone does need a USB-to-UART interface, rather than the UM245R, its possible to use FTDI breakout cables like the C232HM. The breakout cable can be connected to the 100mil headers that are present on most development kits.
