With the Altera Nios II embedded processor, you as the system designercan accelerate time-critical software algorithms by adding custominstructions to the Nios II processor instruction set. Using custominstructions, you can reduce a complex sequence of standard instructionsto a single instruction implemented in hardware. You can use this featurefor a variety of applications, for example, to optimize software innerloops for digital signal processing (DSP), packet header processing, andcomputation-intensive applications. The Nios II configuration wizard,part of the Quartus® II software’s SOPC Builder, provides a graphicaluser interface (GUI) used to add up to 256 custom instructions to theNios II processor

通過以太網遠程配置Nios II 處理器 應用筆記 Firmware in embedded hardware systems is frequently updated over the Ethernet. For embedded systems that comprise a discrete microprocessor and the devices it controls, the firmware is the software image run by the microprocessor. When the embedded system includes an FPGA, firmware updates include updates of the hardware image on the FPGA. If the FPGA includes a Nios® II soft processor, you can upgrade both the Nios II processor—as part of the FPGA image—and the software that the Nios II processor runs, in a single remote configuration session.

This application note describes how to retrieve user-defined data from Xilinx configurationPROMs (XC18V00 and Platform Flash devices) after the same PROM has configured theFPGA. The method to add user-defined data to the configuration PROM file is also discussed.The reference design described in this application note can be used in any of the followingXilinx FPGA architectures: Spartan™-II, Spartan-IIE, Spartan-3, Virtex™, Virtex-E, Virtex-II,and Virtex-II Pro.

This application note provides a detailed description of the Spartan™-3 configurationarchitecture. It explains the composition of the bitstream file and how this bitstream isinterpreted by the configuration logic to program the part. Additionally, a methodology ispresented that will guide the user through the readback process. This information can be usedfor partial reconfiguration or partial readback.

This application note shows how to achieve low-cost, efficient serial configuration for Spartan FPGA designs. The approachrecommended here takes advantage of unused resources in a design, thereby reducing the cost, part count, memory size,and board space associated with the serial configuration circuitry. As a result, neither processor nor PROM needs to be fullydedicated to performing Spartan configuration.In particular, information is provided on how the idle processing time of an on-board controller can be used to loadconfiguration data from an off-board source. As a result, it is possible to upgrade a Spartan design in the field by sending thebitstream over a network.

The CoolRunner-II CPLD is a highly uniform family of fast, low-power devices. Theunderlying architecture is a traditional CPLD architecture, combining macrocells intofunction blocks interconnected with a global routing matrix, the Xilinx AdvancedInterconnect Matrix (AIM). The function blocks use a PLA configuration that allowsall product terms to be routed and shared among any of the macrocells of the functionblock.

The Xilinx Zynq-7000 Extensible Processing Platform (EPP) redefines the possibilities for embedded systems, giving system and software architects and developers a flexible platform to launch their new solutions and traditional ASIC and ASSP users an alternative that aligns with today’s programmable imperative. The new class of product elegantly combines an industrystandard ARMprocessor-based system with Xilinx 28nm programmable logic—in a single device. The processor boots first, prior to configuration of the programmable logic. This, along with a streamlined workflow, saves time and effort and lets software developers and hardware designers start development simultaneously.
