NicheStack TCP/IP Network Stack, Nios II Edition
NicheStack TCP/IP Network Stack - Nios II Edition is a software suite of
networking protocols designed from the ground up to provide an optimal
solution for designing network-connected embedded devices with the
Nios II processor.
InterNiche Technologies and Altera collaborated to provide a version of
InterNiche’s NicheStack IPv4 network stack optimized for the
Nios II
architecture . The stack has a small footprint, is portable, and delivers high
performance without compromising compliance to RFC standards.
NicheStack supports a wide variety of physical interfaces, and can be
configured as a standard client machine, an Internet protocol router
(IPv4), or a multi-homed server. The suite also contains a comprehensive
device networking package, FTP, Telnet, IGMPv1, and DNS and DHCP
client components.
The NicheStack TCP/IP Network Stack - Nios II Edition is distributed by
Altera as full ANSI C source code and includes an evaluation license. If
you wish to design with this software suite, you must purchase a license
from Altera (ordering code IPSW-TCPIP-NIOS).
