Moving HPS UART to FPGA fabric in Cyclone V

Hi, I'm looking to move my console port (UART0) from where it is currently implemented to using FPGA pins to do so. Using the HPS IO set is straight forward but I'm not able to see any activity wh...

    As an update -

    I've been able to confirm that in moving the UART and updating the pinmux config file, the UART0USEFPGA flag has been set to 1. The console port (UART0) now outputs data to the PC terminal. However, I'm unable to send characters TO the console.

    I've been able to verify that the terminal is sending information to the FPGA but nothing happens. I confirmed that the pin assignments themselves are correct for the FPGA. Could there be something I'm missing from a setup standpoint that allows me to move the console from the origianl HPS UART pins to FPGA pins instead?

    Thanks.
