Accesing PC files from UART

Hi Ilan-g7,

I am starting to learn Altera Nios CPU, so I am probably doing silly things. Past days I realized that /prueba/test.txt is not recognized by the FPGA inside my PC, but it is considered a file path in the own FPGA. As there is no file in such FPGA it has no sense for it.

Reading Altera's manuals I found a set of instructions to manage the UART:

nr_uart_txcr

nr_uart_txhex, etc, etc...

This week I'll try to use them but I do not know if this way is the correct. When I am capable of sending datas from the FPGA to the PC I suppose I'll need a program in the PC to open a virtual console in order to store datas in a file.

well, if you have some experience in this task or can help me clarifying concepts would be great!!!

Thanks.

Roberto.
