Why is the content of MIF files for Nios® II processor internal RAM initialization not the same when generated on different OS platforms?

Description

It is expected MIF file content is not the same when generating the same design on different OS platform. The reason is that content of MIF file for Nios® II processor internal RAM initialization is random data. The seed difference on different OS platform results in different random data.

Example .mif files: 

cpu_bht_ram.mif

cpu_dc_tag_ram.mif

cpu_ic_tag_ram.mif

cpu_ociram_default_contents.mif

Resolution

This information will be added into a future release of Nios II processor reference guide.
