Include Library in project

OK,

The secret seems to be as follows :

1) Use Eclipse to edit the Makefile - that way you will get the right copy.

2) create a directory lib and put the library libaplc.a into it, then

set : ALT_LIBRARY_DIRS := lib

3) set : ALT_LIBRARY_NAMES := aplc

4) set : ALT_LDDEPS := D:\home\jbww\Design\Altera\Eclipse_v12\NiosProjects\aplc_matrix\lib\libaplc.a

I have had to simplify the I/O for the moment, but I can now translate Apl to c using aplc., and have it compile and run on the DE1 board :

The same partially gutted library source compiles OK on the Altera NiosII.

Here is a simple set of matrix operations in a function "matrix":

Source in AplX:

matrix

'A:'

A ← ⍳ 5

A

' '

'B:'

B ← ⍳ 9

B

' '

'C: inner product:'

C ← A ∘.× B

C

' '

'T: transpose:'

T ← ⍉ C

T

' '

'O: outer product (matrix multiply):'

O ← C +.× T

O

' '

'S: solve matrix:'

S ← C ⌹ A

S

NiosII simple floating point soft processor, on a Terassic DE1 development board :
