Honored ContributorI'd like to install NiosII/IDE v1.1 before I get started on my next project. Is it going to be available any time soon? I see Quartus 4.2 is available. It's not included in that update is it?
Thanks, Ken
Honored ContributorAll,
The Nios II development tools version 1.1 update will begin shipping to subscribing customers in the second week of January. Additionally, the version 1.1 evaluation edition will be posted on www.altera.com/niostestdrive (http://www.altera.com/niostestdrive) on January 11th. Thanks, AlanHonored ContributorYou really want to use Q 4.2/sopc 4.2 with Nios 1.1, there are many changes to Sopc Builder.
Honored ContributorThanks Alan! Thanks Kerri!
Do you recommend upgrading QII to 4.2 with NiosII v1.01? Thanks, KenHonored ContributorI don't see why not.
Biggest change is multi-clock domain systems. The look is a bit different too. There's a chapter in the Quartus handbook about Sopc Builder now.Honored ContributorSorry, from another post:
http://www.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?a...ct=st&f=2&t=770 (http://www.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?act=st&f=2&t=770) Nios 1.0 sp1 is not compatible with Q 4.2 Can you get Nios II 1.1? THe eval edition should work just fine till the CD arrives.Honored ContributorThanks for the headsup on 1.1 availability - is there any preliminary/outline info on the changes to the IDE from a software development perspective? Like, is it now Eclipse 3 based? http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif

No, not this time.. it was too close between 3.0's availability and our code-complete date for 1.1. Hard to achieve quality by tossing things in at the last minute. However stay tuned for the next Nios release. Correction..3.01 came too late for us....Honored ContributorHi Jesse -
Excuse my confusion, but does your closing comment about Eclipse 3.0.1 arriving too late for your 1.1 release mean that you *are* shipping 1.1 with Eclipse 3.0.0 ??? - RoddyHonored ContributorHi Roddy,
Sorry for the confusion, no, its still eclipse 2.something. I believe the reason for not moving up at this time was because a major rev to the C development tools (CDT) just arrived and it would make sense ot upgrade them both in the same release on our end.Honored ContributorHi Ken,
after several days of unsuccesfully testing I've just deinstalled Quartus 4.2 / NIOS2 1.1 because I couldn't get run my actual project (created with Q4.1 SP2 and NIOS2 1.0 SP1). ( ... see other threat ) (http://www.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?act=st&f=17&t=820) Mike
