15 years agoYou can use the JTAG UART component for debugging to the Nios IDE console. But for RS232 comms via the port on the DE2 board, grab the RS232 IP core from the free University Program IP cores package available from Altera.
- Wire up your hardware (either using portmapping ie. in VHDL or schematic bdf) - Create your Nios software from the .SOPCINFO file - Let Nios II IDE build your BSP and load the appropriate HAL drivers
