Jtag uart

Is there another possibility besides the nios2-terminal to connect to the jtag uart on the PC side ?

Thanks

    Hi!

    I think this possibility is absent right now :-).

    But I have an idea.

    Nios2-terminal changes data with HOST 127.0.0.1. On the host side ran JTAGSERVER.

    In one&#39;s part JTAGSERVER communicates via Byteblaster with IC(FPGA).

    Idea is intercept traffic between JTAGSERVER and nios2-terminal and analyze.

    I think analysis would ate so much time for construct your own app.

    So......I think this idea should be work.

    i found a method to include jtag-uart communication into my host software.

    start nios2-terminal as child process of my host software allows me to communicate via stdin/stdout to the jtag uart.

    the same technique is used to invoke the nios2 flash-programmer within my software.

    using a code-sniplet found at http://www.codeproject.com/threads/redir.asp (http://www.codeproject.com/threads/redir.asp) makes this very easy....

    have fun,
