Easiest way to create a software to interface with FPGA

[makanaky]

I got skills in digital design but I dont know how to start to create interface between FPGA and PC ? what is the easiest software language to use, what steps do I need to follow ?

Thanks

UART in fpga + Serial port on PC + existing terminal software, or write your own software that interfaces with serial port.

You can use a FT232 USB <-> UART bridge, FTDI already provides the needed (PC side) driver and wrappers for direct communication or virtual com
