I will use "Type A to B USB cable" contained in FPGA DE1-SoC to connect PC to FPGA.

On the DE1-SOC the USB-B connection is for the Altera USB Blaster II programmer via JTAG. You really don't intend to use that, correct?

There is a mini USB B connection that is a USB serial to UART slave connection implemented via an FTDI FT232R USB-UART bridge. Is this what you intend to use?

If so, this will interface as a standard serial COM port on your PC, and connects to the HPS UART in the FPGA.
