Hi, all, It is the first time I use the TSE MAC. My target is to run TSE MAC on a Stratix IV GT Evaluation Board without the Nios II. I'm a beginner on FPGA coding, and I like to use t...

The only thing I know about the sopc is from the lab course in collage. Can I use the sopc without a nios ii core? And the code running on the core? I do not what to add too much things into my design.
