About the
Example
Processor
Systems Example Processor Systems are Quartus II SOPC Builder designs
featuring a processor and peripherals targeted for the Altera Embedded
Systems Development Kit, Cyclone III Edition hardware.
Purpose
These pre-generated example processor systems can be used as starting
points for your own embedded development.
Examples
There are two example processor systems provided in the kit:
■ Nios II 3C120 General Purpose Microprocessor System (standard)
■ Nios II 3C120 Microprocessor System with LCD Controller (lcd)
Where to find
Provided in the
altera
\\kits\cycloneIII_3C120_embedded\examples folder,
under standard and lcd respectively.
Benefits
■ Hardware designers can accelerate their own SOPC Builder system
development by using the Nios II 3C120 General Purpose
Microprocessor System as a starting point.
■ Since the board boots up with the Nios II 3C120 Microprocessor
System with LCD Controller software developers can use it for
software development right out of the box.
About the Nios II
3C120 General
Purpose
Microprocessor
System Within the FPGA is the Nios II 3C120 General Purpose Microprocessor
System; a Nios II processor based hardware system that can be used as a
starting point for embedded application development.
