15 years ago --- Quote Start --- Where I can find the tcm.zip example, mentioned in "Using Tightly Coupled Memory with the Nios II Processor" ? --- Quote End --- I don't know where that example can be found. You can refer to this tutorial if you haven't it yet. http://www.altera.com/literature/tt/tt_nios2_tightly_coupled_memory_tutorial.pdf --- Quote Start --- Actually, I can load my ISR function to the tightly_coupled_instruction_memory. But the tightly_coupled_data_memory seems to be unused. --- Quote End --- Linker places in TCM all data you tell him to place there. Have you specified any? --- Quote Start --- Til now, i haven't any performance improvements. My ISR function is really short, it executes only "OSSemPost(IRQSem);". Is Tightly Coupled Memory even usefull or is VIC more applicable ? --- Quote End --- If ISR function is that short I wouldn't expect great performance improvements with TTC. Probably most of the performance losses are due to ISR dispatcher. For longer functions I REALLY DO have about 30% execution speed improvements. Regards
