Hi Wombat,

I have a doubt. Does the board need to have a JTAG connector for using the system console in the way you specified?. Will the USB blaster be enough to have this functionality. I have a Terasic DE4 board with me which does not have a JTAG connector, but the USB blaster can be used in JTAG mode.

I wanted to write some register through system console. So can i use the JTAG to Avalon Master Bridge as master to write to these register locations using master_write_32 command?. I am not using Nios II processor.

Thanks in advance
