Did you add the jtag uart component to your SOPC builder project? It isn't in the list. 

The standard C functions like printf() and scanf() can be used to interact with the console.

thank you for your replay, yes I have a jtag uart, and I am able to open the jtag_uart_drive console. but I don't know what write on the console and how can I know that I am executing the code.c writen in sopc builder.

if in your software you add printf() calls, it will display something in the nios console. For the other way round, what you have to type in the console really depends on your software.

I want just to display the "hello word", I run the simulation for 800 us bu noting was displayed on my console :s

may be the simulation takes more time than 800 us to enter to my main and do the printf "hello word"
