does anyone know how to change the nios ii ide console baud rate? its default setting to download data is 115,000 baud, and i would like to change it to 4800 baud so that it is compatible with the uart i have set up already for a serial peripheral. i cannot find a setting in the ide menus nor in the ide help files. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#emo_dir#>/sad.gif

No promises, but this may be worth a try....

1) Make a backup of your Altera-supplied template folder

"..\altera\kits\nios2_51\examples\verilog\<kit>..."

2) Open your project in SOPC builder

3) Find your serial port&#39;s UART and rdo right-click->edit

4) At the Baudrate dropdown, select 4800 baud. You may also wish to check the "make baudrate selectable&#39; checkbox, but its a good idea to try only one change at a time

5) Hit Finish

6) Hit Generate (& make a cup of tea)

At this point it may be a good idea to recompile your project in Quartus II (but I don&#39;t know).

7) load up your new PTF file into the board and try again

Good luck
