Honored ContributorNIOS + Pipeline Bridge
How can someone make memory imported through an MM pipeline bridge visible in Eclipse/NIOS? On BSP editor I can only see the on-chip memory. I'd like to place .rwdata .rodata on that section up...

Honored ContributorNopes. Cannot ignore the error.
If you actually ignore, there will be two sections with the same name, one with the "memory" attribute and the other without. If you just add a memory region on top of the memory section, you wont be able to put any linker section on it because the pulldown boxes will not have it. If you add a new memory device with another name, HAL even compiles OK but the actual project fails in compilation time with a crazy offset error out of boundaries. I finally got it done by adding the "isDeviceMemory" to "1" in the module "mm_bridge", interface "s0" in the nios.socpinfo file. It is a PITA to find the right location. XML is unreadable. I'm sure this will get reset next time I regenerate the HDL files. Wonder if there is any other way. Wish there was a button in GUI somewhere to make this easier.
