Hi,

Your board does not have a USB interface/connector.

You can use Hyperterminal and a serial port(RS232) on your board and establish the serial communication.

Use Nios ii processor, on-chip memory, jtag Uart & uart(rs232 serial port) for qsys design.

For more information refer to link below.

    Dear Anand Raj Shankar

    I am using CoreEP4CE6, Altera Core Board for my lab work. I am also trying to communicate with MATLAB through UART. So for configuration, can I use the same procedure shown in the following link http://my-fpga.blogspot.my/2011/02/using-rs232-on-niosii-processor.html .

    I am very new to FPGA hardware and my background also does not match with electronics. Help me to configure my FPGA to communicate with MATLAB via UART.

    Best regrads
