The HAL library access functions are also probably not the ones you are looking for! I think a nios could directly bit-bang the serial interface faster than it can use the spi hardware block. --- Quote End --- Thanks for your reply. If you can help me, How can i check the area used ? and how can i use NIOS or any other method to access the epces with my design on FPGA ?
