How to port the mmap function?

One Unix implementation use the mmap function and /dev/zero to fulfill the virtual memory. How could I port such functionality onto Nios II? Must I include the OS? Can HAL solve the problem?

Hi neo,

I'm not sure what you're asking ... Nios-II does not have

an MMU ... there's no virtual memory. Do you just want to

clear memory?
