    Hi,

    Unfortunately, the official support for Nios V to use Mutex HAL API is not yet supported.

    You may implement them at your own accord and we may not be able to support further if you encounter issue.

    Again, we apologies giving you this bad news.

Hi,
GeMRTOS (https://gemrtos.com) supports multiple Nios V/m processors. GeMRTOS is a multiprocessor RTOS that also supports Nios 2/e/f.
The GeMRTOS Platform Designer IP component may be downloaded from https://github.com/G-RTOS/GeMRTOS.
niosv-download issue avoids downloading the .elf file (most of the times) when more than 2 processors are instanciated. This issue was not fixed in Quartus Prime Standard Edition version 22.1 (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/articles/000089679.html).
Regards.
