Kerri -

Thanks for the reply.

When I mentioned Nios I, I meant Series I as opposed to Nios 1.0. I think the latest version of the Nios processor I tried was the distribution from about 5-6 months ago.

One of the problems is that on 'Generate' (or, could be 'Compile' back in Quartus - havn't tried it in a while), even though the components have two different names, in one of those operations (i.e., 'Generate' or 'Compile') the build thinks the two part types are the same (which, in actuality they are), and deletes the instance of one of them.

Even in the two-processor, two-serial port example Altera distributes, you have to hand massage a lot of the memory locations.

Having said all of that, I'll still try the latest distribution of Quartus and Nios.

Thanks,

Jim
