print hello world without a board

If I don't have a FGPA board, can I still print a "hello world" message to the Nios IDE console? I tried to run the program as a local C/C++ application, but the console just has a message say <terminated>hello.exe/....

What should I do?

Thank you!

    Perhaps with ISS (Instruction Set simulator). Not sure at all. I never use that.

    It is easier with a board.

    In older versions of the tools there was an ISS, but that has long since been discontinued. Lauterbach sells a fully functional ISS and other Nios II related debug stuff on their website.

    Good luck!

    You could create a design and simulate it. The UART communication will be piped out to the Modelsim transcript window.
