    Hi @Krus83,

    Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope this message find you well.
    If I understand request correctly, you are seeking something similar with data type such as ac_int and ac_fixed in HLS.
    For that maybe I would suggest that you can look into this custom instruction for nios ii which implement math floating point here.
    Please do let us know if that help clarify your doubts.

    Best Wishes
