NIOS C CODE help

Question

Dear Madam/Sir,

I am new to Quartus and NIOS.

please help me regarding following problems.

1) How to define (map) variables used in NIOS C Coding to general purpose

registers

2) How to write inline assembly language. I want xor, shifting, or, and, not

operations in C with less number of cycles. For this first point is required.

3) How to write the code for clock event in NIOS C like we write in

VHDL falling or rising edge. (i want to collect the data according to clock pulse).

4) What is the maximum PLL Clk value i can use for EP3C25E144I7

I want solutions with examples please.

Thanks and Regards,

Srinivas M

1) depending on address

when you see addresses on SOPC builder (or Qsys) the address itself is the way to access each IP.

this function gives value 0xff to address 0x00100 (+ offset 0 ).

IOWR_32DIRECT(0x0000100, 0, 0xFF );

2) sorry.

I have no idea.

3) you can not run c code on NiosII.

C program runs on your CPU. and CPU analyzes your code each time.

you can never run C-code (even assembly language) along with each clock.

that's why you need to create custum-IP core.

4)maximum PLL clk.

sorry I don't have much time to reserch.

I always use 100MHz for CPU clock.

coz, that is enough. even if you want to use 1GB/sec stream.

on your case. you want to create custom IP-core such as HDL-core which you can command from NiosII( avalonMM master).

there is easy-text I wrote long time ago.

see you.
