NIOS II On-chip Memory size

Hi, I am using DE0 board with Cyclone III FPGA. If I am not wrong, it has 56 M9K blocks. According to my calculation, it gives 57344 bytes for me to use as on-chip RAM for my NIOS II processor....

You can use alt_printf() which supports only fixed strings and a reduced set of formatting options (neither %d nor %f).

Are you sure the small C library doesn't support floating point? I thought the limitation was only on I/O, namely you can use float type in code but you cannot use it in printf like functions. Please check, I'm not sure of this.
