VEC105E: Developing Software for the NIOS II

Fpga programming courses series

In the Nios® II software development training, you will learn to develop and run embedded software for the Nios II processor using the Nios II Embedded Development Suite.

This course utilizes one of the Nios II development Kits so that you can download, run, and debug your code on an Intel® (Altera®) FPGA configured with a Nios processor.

You will participate in discussions about the features and capabilities of the software tools. After taking this course, you should feel confident tackling your next embedded programming project

Course duration: 2 days

At Course Completion you will be able to:

• Configure & compile a Nios II embedded processor design using Qsys & Quartus Prime software
• Create, compile, run, & debug embedded software projects for the Nios II processor using the Nios II Software Build Tools for Eclipse (SBTE)
• Verify your FPGA design functionality with the System Console & the Nios II SBTE
• Simulate your Nios II-based system in ModelSim
• Use Qsys to incorporate custom instructions into an embedded Nios II system
• Design with a Nios II Development Kit

Skills Required:

• Background in digital logic design
• Working knowledge of the Quartus® Prime design software
• Working knowledge of the Qsys system integration tool
• Some (minimal) knowledge of programming in C for embedded systems
