On-chip Debugging Design Examples .qar can't be loaded

I've downloaded the Systemconsole_design_example.qar from the URL provided under the documentation resources: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/design-exa...

Hi SyafieqS_Intel,

Excellent - thank you. I managed to configure my project for use with the System Console in the meantime, by adding a JTAG to Avalon Master Bridge. I'm writing ADC readings to On-Chip RAM using IOWR_32DIRECT and reading the values from the System Console using a TCL script. Having a quick look through the resources, I didn't find anything relating to reading the data directly from into Matlab.

My aim is to plot the ADC readings by accessing the On-Chip RAM from Matlab through the System Console/TCL. A search leads me to:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/products/design-software/fpga-design/quartus-prime/features/qts-systems-console.html

but these resources also seem to be outdated, because Flash is no longer supported. Is there a newer version of these?

EDIT: For context, I tried printf and bitbang to nios2-terminal, but it reduces the ADC sample rate (which is already limited by SPI transactions) by a considerable amount.
