Prerequisites

Finding Nios II EDS Files

The Nios

develop software for the Altera

Nios II software development environment, the Nios II Embedded Design Suite (EDS)

tools available to you, and the process for developing software.

This chapter provides a high-level overview of the software development

environments for the Nios II processor, and contains the following sections:

■

The Nios II Software Developer’s Handbook assumes you have a basic familiarity with

embedded processor concepts. You do not need to be familiar with any specific Altera

technology or with Altera development tools. Familiarity with Altera hardware

development tools can give you a deeper understanding of the reasoning behind the

Nios II software development environment. However, software developers can create

and debug applications without further knowledge of Altera technology.

When you install the Nios II EDS, you specify a root directory for the EDS file

structure. This root directory must be adjacent to the Quartus

example, if the Nios II EDS 10.0 is installed on the Windows operating system, the

root directory might be c:\altera\100\nios2eds.

For simplicity, this handbook refers to this directory as <Nios II EDS install path>.

The Nios II EDS provides a consistent software development environment that works

for all Nios II processor systems. With the Nios II EDS running on a host computer, an

Altera FPGA, and a JTAG download cable (such as an Altera USB-Blaster™ download

cable), you can write programs for and communicate with any Nios II processor

system. The Nios II processor’s JTAG debug module provides a single, consistent

... Makefiles and the SBT The makefile is the central component of a Nios II software project, whether the project is created with the Nios II SBT for Eclipse the command line. The makefile describes all the components of a software project and how they are compiled and linked. With a makefile and a complete set of C/C++ source files, your Nios II software project is fully defined ...

... A user library project is a collection of source code compiled to create a single library archive file (.a). Libraries often contain reusable, general purpose functions that multiple application projects can share. A collection of common arithmetical functions is one example. A user library does not contain a main() function. BSP Project A Nios II BSP project is a specialized library containing system-specific support code ...
