Get stdout from Nios (JTAG) to custom application on a PC

Hello, I am trying to read stdouts from my Nios from JTAG-UART with the JTAG UART Intel FPGA IP in the system console (is this the right place?). That's because I want to be able to read the output...

Hello,

We dont have such solution.

You can only change stdin/stdout if you have a real UART port in your board. In this case, you can port stdin/stdout to that UART, and this UART is connected to PC where you can run your custom application and read the data.

Thanks

    Hello,

    Thank you for the information.

    Is this planned? Or do we have to expect that there will never be a some sort of API to communicate with custom software over JTAG/UART?

    I mean there was something like the jtag-atlantic DLL.
