NIOS Nested Interrupts

Morning All,

I was wondering if anybody could point me to some example/reference designs using nested interrupts with the NIOS. What documentation I've read said there may be ways to do it using an external interrupt controller (I'm using the Altera supplied VIC), but I have been unable to figure it out yet.

Basically, I want my 1 ms timer interrupt (which has the highest assigned priority on the VIC) callback function to always run - regardless of whether another interrupt is currently being serviced.

Can anybody provide some pointers (pun not intended) or examples to help me accomplish this?

Thank you
