I got the tip to select a device with hw-multiblier-blocks (i.e. Cyclone-II) in the SoPC-Builder, generate the processor and prior to compile in Quartus change an option in the ???_mult_cell.vhd file - has someone done this successfully to get a working hw-multiplier for a Cyclone device?
Fast multiplication (and division) is very important for us because we use the Cyclone with Nios in a hard realtime system for high dynamic industrial motion control.

As for the divide custom instruction, Nios II/f has optional support for a built-in divide instruction
that the compiler will use if the option is enabled. This replaces the divide custom instruction for Nios II.[/b]

Where can I find this option?
Thank you for your help
