Take a look at any software example that accepts characters over the terminal like memtest, board_diag, simple_socket_server, etc...

Are you trying to communicate to the board and use the board to repeat those characters over RS-232 or do you plan on communicating with the board through RS-232 directly? If it's the latter, you can direct standard in/out/error to the UART in your SOPC Builder system in the BSP settings and then use use any terminal program you like on the host side.
