Developing Software for the Nios II Processor

This course is targeted software developers. You will learn to develop and run embedded software for the Nios II softcore processor. Create software projects from scratch, access peripherals from C, create interrupt driven code, build device drivers for custom hardware functions. Also learn to utilize the custom hardware instructions from C. The course introduces useful RTOS and TCP/IP stack solutions. This course utilizes the Nios II Development Kit so that you can download, run, and debug your code in an Altera FPGA.

At Course Completion

You will be able to:

• Create software project from hardware design deliverables
• Manage software projects using the Nios II IDE & Command Tools
• Download, run, & debug software on a board
• Access Nios II peripherals from C
• Create interrupt-driven C code
• Reduce code size with system library properties
• Build new device drivers for custom peripherals
• Access custom instruction hardware from C code
• Incorporate & program software for RTOS
• Use the Interniche Nichestack for TCP/IP applications

Skills Required

Some knowledge of programming in C, especially for embedded systems
Basic understanding of hardware design in FPGAs
Completion of the Designing with the Nios II Processor & SOPC Builder course is optional but strongly recommended.
