What is the true nature of 6AF7_00A2 FEATURE?

Hi

The 6Af7_00A2 refers to the Nios II Processor.

If you are using it it will show up as 6AF7_00A2.

What are you trying to find out regarding the Nios II Soft Processor?

Hello.

Thank you for your response.

While checking the usage log for the INTEL license, I found a usage log for 6AF7_00A2, so I wanted to confirm how this FEATURE is being used.

I have an additional question about the Nios II Processor.

• How is the Nios II Processor used?

I searched the Intel website for information about the Nios II Processor, but was unable to find any relevant results, so I am asking here.

I would appreciate your response.

Hi

The Nios II Processor could be used as soft processor to run an application interfacing with the different types of IPs.

In general, a C program is compiled and will be run on the Nios II processor.

The use case is very broad to explain the exact usage in your project as it varies from users.

You could try taking a look at the System View in the Platform Designer to see what are the IPs that are connected to the Nios II Processor.

Hello.

Thank you for your response.

I will search the website for more information about Nios II.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sidenote: if you can, you should investigate using Nios V instead of Nios II. Nios II is deprecated/obsoleted at this point for new designs.
