The JTAG UART handling program on the host is nios2-terminal. This is what is used by the IDE to communicate with the target.

You can use this from the SDK shell (or from any other shell which has the path set up correctly).

It has quite extensive help text available using `nios2-terminal --help` if you're not happy with the standard options.
