ContributorQuartus System Console
Hi, I have couple of questions regarding the system console tool used for debugging.
1) How does this tool communicate with the FPGA?
2) Do we need to invoke any special IP core in the design...

ContributorMK,
Yes, system Console runs on your host computer and communicates with your running design through debug agents. Debug agents are the soft-logic embedded in some IP cores that enable debug communication with the host computer. For example are Nios® II with debug and JTAG to Avalon® Master Bridge IP core.
