how to estimate power

Question

hi!

I use the Quartus II 6.1 in my work

Ineed to estimate the power of a program implanting on the FPGA (Altera Startix)

my projet was composed on two parts (software and hardward) so I need the power of tow parts of projet

when using "powerplayer poweranalyser tool"in the quartus II I estimate only hardware part

what can I do?

thank you

does the "software part " means NIOSII C code?

if yes, it only influent the hardware logic toglling rate.

so you can just set proper toggle rate in Powerplayer, so you can get the whole power.

thanks
