How to clear the Nios II console?

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

I'm implementing a Nios II on a DE0-nano board. My C code is executed by Eclipse and a console is accessible to print things (with the printf instruction). I'd like to clear this console but I don't know how to do it. Does someone know? Thanks.

Try a right click to the terminal and select "Clear"

Clicking on the "x" is ok but I want it to be cleaned by the C code. More precisely I want to write a word then to clear the console to write something else at the same place.

I haven't checked lately to confirm this, but last time I looked (years ago) the console in Eclipse wasn't a full terminal emulator. In other words it didn't support operations like clearing the screen. If you want to do that you need a terminal emulator program like PuTTY, TeraTerm etc. These typically implement the ANSI standard terminal command set like the windows command shell does.

I don't think of a simple way to do that with a Nios II cpu so no matter, I'll do things otherwise. 

Thanks.
