Save NIOS II Console view to file

[Altera_Forum]

Hello, 

 i'm creating a ; seperated output in the NIOS II Console with printf-function... Is there a possibilty to save this output to a file?    Copy&Paste will also be fine, but is not working.   Rgrds

I don't want to copy the normal Console view. The output of printf-function is redirectet to "NIOS II Console", there it is not possible to copy&paste...I'm using NIOS II IDE 10.1cb

Doesn't seem to work in my 9.1, either. 

 Can you redirect stdin and stdout to a serial port and use a regular terminal program?

I'm using 8.0. I found that if you launch manually Nios2-terminal.exe from a DOS prompt you can redirect output to a file with ">". 

I hope this tricky is useful for you. Ciao

I have a very nice trick: 

1) Minimize the Nios II Console window 2) Restore the Nios II Console window 3) Now you can do Copy and Paste (but only once)   Ciao.   Bernardo

Quartus comes with the Nios II Command Shell. To capture all terminal output, simply open this command shell. Ensure you can see the FPGA by typing "jtagconfig". Then navigate to where you want to save the file. 

Type "nios2-terminal.exe > ./{directory and name of output file}" Nothing will show, but if you locate and open the file you redirected to, you will see all the terminal output saved. Using >> instead of > will append changes to the end of the file.
