DE1 board to PC communication

Anyone knows how to communicate the de1 board to PC ?? for example: I need to send a data from my pc to de1 board, and make maybe a logic operation (or something), and after, receive the result data ...

I also wanted to establish a communication channel between board and PC without NIOS II. I was able to use the two following two methods

  • RS-232 with about 100 kbit/s

  • A simple output pin connection to a Labview board with 1Mbit/s * number of pins used

The second one is a good option if you have a Labview board at hand.

How fast does your communication need to be?
