Integration of a Noc in NIOS system

A few questions on naming things first.

When you say 'Nios system', do you really mean a SoPC system with a NoC processor added into to that system?

Or do you mean a SoPC system with a NIOS II processor AND ALSO a NoC processor interface both onto the Avalon-MM interface?

It does not really matter which you are attempting to do, I am just asking so thatI better understand the structure of the system that youare looking to build.

In either case, you have two options:

1. To integrate the NoC processor into the SoPC builder system as a new component.

2. To provide an interface from the SoPC system to an external component (the NoC processor) outside the SoPC sub-system.

Do you desire to allow the NoC proessor to be able to MASTER the SoPC bus?

Or simple be a Slave to the other Masters on the SoPC system?

For 1. - you will use the Componenet Editor to integrate your IP into a new component that will be available to attach to the SoPC (Avalon-MM) interface.

For 2. - you only need to use the Component Editor to build an interface (sort of a reverse bridge) into the Avalon-MM interface by NOT including ANY IP and just ampping the signals appropriately.

You have some reading to do.

Keep us posted.
