20 years agoHi Roberto,
Wolf is right, You should use the uart to transmit your file from nios to your pc On the pc side you will need to write a program that will read this transmitted chars and will write them to a file. Try to read n2cpu_nii5v3.pdf it is found in the document under your installation, you will find there a chapter about UART Try using # include <stdio.h> FILE* fp=fopen(YOUR_UART_NAME,"r+"); fprintf(fp,"what ever you want to transmit on uart"); fclose(fp); This is the way to transmit char over uart. YOUR_UART_NAME was defined as you added the uart component on SOPC You can find this name in a file called system.h The system.h describes your design and can be found under YOUR_PROJECT_syslib\Debug have fun Ilan
