NIOS II KILLER

A NIOS II killer is born. Codename Mico32 from Lattice. Seems that soft proc gained a lot of interest for all FPGA vendors. ARM7 for Actel, MicroBlaze for Xilinx and of course our great NIOS2...

If you like it, implement it on an Altera part http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

It is, after all, open source.

I just got a little glimpse of the tool-set for the Mico32, it is quite similar to the NIOS2 tool-set. They also use the eclipse environment (so does Microblaze for that matter).

One interesting thing, the Mico32 offers 1-way or 2-way cache for d$ and/or i$.

By the way, I am not, in any way, a part of Altera, or actually endorsing the Mico32--just making observations.
