Design Tips and Tools

• EmbeddedDesignGuides
• C2H C-to-Hardware Acceleration Compiler
• CommandLine development flow for the Nios II
• CrossGcc build nios2-elf toolchain on Linux.
• CustomInstructions contains info that you can't find in the documentation.
• Custom Floating Point Unit contains a single preicsion floating point unit that you can use with Nios II
• VersionControl you should use Subversion to keep track of your daily work.
• LinuxGdbServer NIOS2 gdb server under Linux.
• QuartusforLinux the recommended development platform.
• JtagStandalone standalone jtag tools instead of the bulk of Quartus for Linux
• GCCTools Software development using the gcc tools
• HAL Nios II Hardware Abstraction Layer
• NicheStack information (no rtos, ofw, modules, etc)
• Nios2Studio beta
