Why are you bothering with initialization?

With Nios II (and the HAL), you should be able to open the device and use fprintf to print to it, like so:

char *your_msg = "All work and No play...";

/* Get a file handle */

/* NOTE: Your name will match the name you chose from SOPC Builder... the example, below, matches the name in the standard and full_featured designs*/

FILE *lcd = fopen( "/dev/lcd_display", "w");

/* Using the lcd file handle, "print" to the LCD Device */

fprintf(lcd, "%s\n", your_msg);

The syntax may not be *exactly* like this, but this is what I recall from several of the software "templates". For some reason Count Binary comes to mind....
