How to communicate with Nios using JTAG UART module.

Hi All, 

I'd like to communicate with a nios system using a JTAG uart module, but I don't know which functions and libraries I have to use in nios C-program.. 

I have designed a system to glow the LED's depending on data sent from console.  

printf() can be used to send data to the console. But i couldn't find any function which is similar to scanf() which reads data from console. 

I have built my system using Qsys, now i'am writing a software application in C to read data from console and give it to the display. 

please help.

It all depends on which OS you are running on the Nios II 

 

If you're running the basic HAL then if I remember right getchar() is the function you should be calling.

I tried using getchar() but it doesn't seem to work.
