Hi @Chris039 ,

I tested the MAX 10 Nios II Hello World example in Intel FPGA Design Store. I found out for Nios II Interval Timer needs to be added in order to get accurate and valid execution time calculation. Also in BSP Editor, set the sys_clk_timer check image below:

The execution time of Nios II for running code without looper is 1427 clicks which is close to Nios V execution time of 997 clicks.

Folder attached below.

Thanks,

Best regards,

Sheng
