Thanks for your reply ! :)

Yes I saw the system console User guide, there is a lots of stuffs that are interresting. However, it's to use the Nios II processor (inside the FPGA), and I would to do the same (Debuging JTAG interface) with the HPS (ARM Cortex A9)

The command line to download the application on the Nios II processor typed in the NIOS II SHELL is: $ nios2-download -g <name_of_file>.elf

I can use the Altera Monitor Program graphic interface to download the system through the JTAG, but I would like to do it in a script, or find an other way to do so.
