starting nios2-terminal stand alone

Hi,

I have programmed my application in the flash of my CycloneII board and also some software. I want to use this more or less stand alone, but how can I start the nios2-terminal to communicate with a usb-blaster to my jtag-uart? This means WITHOUT the IDE compiling and downloading. I mean something like the former nr -t kind of stuff for a normal uart.

    Hi Dreeke,

    > but how can I start the nios2-terminal

    Open a shell window and run nios2-terminal

    > omething like the former nr -t kind of stuff

    Open another shell windown and use nios2-download

    From an SDK shell, type: 

    nios2-download -g <your_elf>.elf && nios2-terminal
