MultCore Nios II setup

Hello everyone...

So, Im using a DE2 Altera board with a Cyclone ][ device to setup a multicore Nios ][ enviroment however I have some questions.

According to the tutorial (Creating Multiprocessor Nios II Systems tutorial) two(or more) Nios ][ cores cannot share the same program,heap,rodata,rwdata and stack section in the shared memory.

I would like to create a system where they actually share the same program section.

I see no real reason why this shouldnt work aslong as I use a sepertate ONCHIP_RAM for each processor where they can store their heap,rodata etc.?

Best regards

    Sounds reasonable. seems like you should be able to get it to work.
