21 years agoYes, Germs can be implemented in NIOSII it requires the following,
1) Add "Legacy On Chip Memory" component. (a) Select ROM in the Attributes Tab (http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif Select GERMS in the Content Tab © Press finish and then name your component 2) Make sure you have a Uart that you can talk to GERMS with, I use a RS232 port at 115200 baud 3) Goto More CPU settings and select Legacy SDK support. You must select this or the GERMs monitor will not get compiled at compile time. 4) Change the "Reset Address" "Memory Module" to the name of the Legacy on chip memory that you made above. 5) Under "Host Communications" in the Legacy section change it to the Uart you want GERMS to communicate on. After you have done the above compile your NIOS and then compile your Quartus project and GERMS should bootup for you. My original question pertains to CFI for flash, and was it ported to GERMS in NIOSII? Good LUCK!!
