Does the Nois ii processor support DVFS(dynamic frequency and voltage scaling)?

Hi, :p I am doing research about power management.Now I want to create a distributed system envinronment using Nois ii on Cyclone iii. But my question is " Does the Nois ii processor sup...

Hi,

I am also doing research about power management. I also have the same question. Please reply if you find information.

I think we can have multiple PLLs in NIOS ii based systems and Operate the system at different frequencies. I have DE2 FPGA board with cyclone II FPGA.

Hi,

Generally speaking, you can change the frequency but can not change the voltage. Please check my paper "An FPGA-based Distributed Computing System with Power and Thermal Management Capabilities"
