NIOS II and ASMI

Folks, Why is the ASMI interface considered a "legacy" peripheral in NIOS II when it has a set of functions in the NIOS II kit? Is anybody using this component with success in NIOS II?

Scott,

Thanks for the info. Did you roll your own because you could not get the supplied functions working? I am trying to use the supplied functions to save time. For some reason the ASMI is not very well documented in the NIOS II kit. There are no examples and I cant seem to get the library to link in. I seem to be missing a step or an include or whatever that allows the underlying code to be included and linked in. The altera_avalon_asmi is present in the Nios II Device Drivers tree in the IDE, but I have to put an explicit include in my source file to get a compile:

# include "C:\altera\kits\nios2\components\altera_avalon_asmi\sdk\asmi_struct.h"
