Hi jjwalk04,

Don&#39;t panic, I think you&#39;re very close now http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Here are 2 questions:

Q1) Does your board have a serial port?

Q2) Did you select NIOS serial support like this? ...

           Nios serial support
            Support for console on Nios UART

If your answer is YES, then I believe your console is getting redirected to the FIRST SERIAL port. That&#39;s why you don&#39;t see anything further on the JTAG port.

Here&#39;s how to get your console back....

1) Completely disable NIOS serial support in menuconfig. Note, the NIOS console option is NOT properly honoured, therefore enabling NIOS serial support automatically hijacks your console, regardless of your menuconfig selections. Personally, I find this bug is slightly annoying, and so far I haven&#39;t managed to find or fix it.

2) If NIOS serial support is enabled, then you need to hook-up your board&#39;s RS232 port(s) to MINICOM or similar terminal. The default setup is 115kbaud 8-N-1. Now your console will appear on the first serial port.

Hope this helps
