i also thought about using systemconsole. i also looked into the manual (Chapter 12: Analyzing and Debugging Designs with the System Console). But i didn´t find anything about reading and writing registers, and how to start the systemconsole just from an external program like the cmd from windows or from matlab. i also thought that the systemconsole is used do put addional digital system blocks in the fpga means reconfig the hardware or change the hardwareconfiguration. so at the moment it is "a little bit" working. i got it to run by using the matlab command system('c:/folders/nios2-terminal.exe --quit-after=SEC < textfile1.txt'); but thats not a very good way, due to "--quit-after=SEC". its not very nice the of altera that there are so less examples and informations about nios2-termial.exe. perhaps anyone can tell me how to set and reset registers via systemconsole. i just wanna try a better way to read and write registers also without using nios2. i was just reading over 2 in this forum and the documentation of altera. i think that altera does not want me to use the programming jtag-uart connection for talking with my cyclone 3. others had the same problem. so i need help with the systemconsle to read an write registers. (also links to documentation or tutorials) cannot set it up or start it from windows command. perhaps there i also an other way to talk with my cyclone3 ? thanks you !
