Occasional ContributorPorting project from NIOS to ARM
Hello,
We have a project in NIOS which uses controller in FPGA:
- ethernet : TSE - triple speed ethernet, with iniche ip stack
- UART
- Flash (EPCQ)
We need to port the whole project to ARM.
This project also use uc/os OS.
We think it is just a matter of adding bridges to the controller in FPGA (for ARM HPS), and compile the project in DS-5.
Are there other modifications required which we should be aware of (in ARM DS-5 project, preloader modification , other ) ?
Thank you for any tip, suggestion,
ranran

Hi, Are you planning to move your project to ARM only, or to export the NIOS output to HPS? Regards.- Ahmed_H_Intel1Hi, If you are planning to control the NIOS from HPS you will need to add the HPS IP in Qsys and bridges. Please check one of design examples "my_first_hps-fpga_base", this will show you a full example to do this. This link shows an example of HPS controlling FPGA for DE0-Nano-SoC http://download.terasic.com/downloads/cd-rom/de0-nano-soc/DE0-Nano-SoC_v.1.3.0_HWrevD0_SystemCD.zip Please download it Unzip and then go to "...\Demonstrations\SoC_FPGA\my_first_hps-fpga_base" Regards,
