Hi Scott,
the board I am using is the Altera Cyclone Devboard (with EP1C20), I am currently using the "standard" Nios2 from Altera's examples.
I am using the MS hyperterminal to get a terminal, and it is apparently correctly configured (115200,N,8,1).
I upload the SREC file through the JTAG, then I suppose it expects to get a connection through the UART, is it right ? I suppose I don't need any uCLinux running to get all this, the executable file is directly run when I upload it. Is this right ?
Another question : why do I have to upload an SREC file instead of an ELF binary file ? Is there something with the legacy SDK and the 'old' GERMS monitor ?
Thanks a lot for these answers
