can any body tell me,is nios II processor supporting nand flash ?also if yes then the driver for nand flash is available in sopc builder library or not.There is a component available in SOPC Builder / QSys for the flash chips that follow the Common Flash Interface specification.
Have a look at chapter 4 in this document (http://www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_embedded_ip.pdf)i have used cfi interface for NOR flash from spansion.but component generated from cfi does not give pin as found in NAND flash.e.g NAND flash containing ALE signal but cfi interface does not give it.kindly clear my doubt.
Sorry you are right, the NAND flash chips don't use a CFI interface. AFAIK there isn't any NAND flash controller in the default installation, but there seems to be a third party controller available:
