Honored ContributorYou can do some access through the "usb-blaster" logic that has nothing to do with the nios sdk (nios2-terminal) interface. All you need is the 'jtag_atlantic.dll' and maybe some lower leven interface stuff.
In your design, you need an instance of the 'alt_jtag_atlantic'. You can write and read a stream of bytes through the USB-cable to this interface. I never tried on a system without a quartus-installation, but maybe with just installing the driver and the stand-alone programmer application you will ahve enough dll's to operate it. Let me know if you need more info. Stefaan
