Thanks for the confirmation.

 

Changing the file manually works as expected. But the file gets overwritten every time the BSP gets regenerated. Therefore I personally prefer using an external timer, as this is far more reliable.

 

2 Questions remain:

  2. Is there any other side effect of having the NIOS initialized last (as it is currently generated from BSP), besides that timer & alarms are not working for other drivers?

 

best regards

Fabian
