Ahhh... if you're using the jtag uart, then I believe you're stuck with using Altera's nios2-terminal/EDS, unless someone else knows a fancy trick.

The JTAG UART core supports all Altera® device families. The JTAG UART core is

supported by the Nios II hardware abstraction layer (HAL) system library.

To view the character stream on the host PC, the JTAG UART core must be used in

conjunction with the JTAG terminal software provided by Altera. Nios II processor

users access the JTAG UART via the Nios II IDE or the nios2-terminal command-line

utility.
