16 years agoI hear from your question, that you don't necessarily need a soft processor in your application. With the Cypress chip, it won't serve a particular purpose in my opinion.
The available ISP1504 examples are using NIOS II, so it's an easy way to operate the chip. Without a soft processor, the setup and data transfer has to be performed in your HDL design.
