Honored ContributorYou can create a multi-cycle custom instruction that stalls until an interrupt arrives. This will stall the entire Nios II pipeline and will eventually stop all activity. It doesn't stop immediately when you stall the pipeline because it might still be finishing pending cache line transfers (an I-cache fill or a D-cache writeback of a line).
