Honored ContributorHello, is possible put niosII system into fpga from Actel? Because i need radiation hardened fpga and Actel has it. Altera i think has not something like Actel. But i prefere fpga from Altera.
Thank you for answers, Vaclav
Honored ContributorHi krausutef,
NIOSII is an IP core and not open-source. You cannot use it on devices from other vendors. Though I am not aware of any radiation-hardened device from Altera, you may want to see if the SEU quality of existing Altera FPGAs are sufficient for your purposes. Else, you can try Actel's own soft-core processor (LEON) or its embedded ARM processor series - though not sure if they offer the same degree of sophisticated designs as NIOSII.Honored ContributorHi, i thought that is impossibly. But it doesn't matter. I know Leon3, that from Airoflex Gaisler, this core is open source and can be used to all fpga. But work with this isn't good like with NiosII. I think design flow is really miserable with Leon3. Its free but work with it is disaster. Thanks Vaclav
Honored ContributorHonored ContributorAlso, the "e" core version is open source...
Honored ContributorHonored ContributorI stand corrected on the open source point...thanks for making it clear, and pointing us to an official stance.
I agree that having the "e" core free will still be great for a lot of things!
