Accessing UART peripheral of Hard Processor System (HPS) in Cyclone V SoC

Hi,

I am trying to access UART (which is connected with ARM processor) and trying to transfer data serially and receive it on terminal. I am using Altera's Golden System Reference Design for that. I am well aware of the functionality of Altera's soft IP core of UART. But I need little guidance to access ARM's UART. It would be better if anyone suggest any reference document or reference code. A little hint will help a lot. Thanks.

    There's plenty of code in HWLIB, check <altera-dir>/13.1/embedded/ip/altera/hps/altera_hps/doc/hwmgr/html/index.html for documentation, helped me a lot.

    See Altera-s UART example code using HWLIB in C:/Altera/14.0/embedded/examples/software/Altera-SoCFPGA-HardwareLib-16550-CV-GNU.tar.gz or analogical in your installation of SoC EDS.
