i'll see if i can find that design. --- Quote End --- Kerri, I've previously spoken to someone at altera about this, there definately was a port to either the excaliber, cyclone or stratix 1x20 board, I think it might have been jesse that I spoke to. I know you guys are probably very busy, but I think this would make a neat "wow" demo for Nios II, if it was possible on the Nios I surely it's got to be possible on the Nios II! e_FreshMEAT, With regards to Nios II, I think the enhancements to the processor speak for themselves. Faster, smaller and minus some of the baggage that worried me before (branch display slots). Unless you have good reason to use Nios I then I'd definately look into Nios II. If you're a current Nios subscriber then you should have received your Nios II update, mine arrived a few weeks back, although I've been so busy I've not actually got round to playing with it anymore, so to answer your question, you get your licensed Nios II core from Altera!
