Subject: [oc] NIOS source
Aloha!Quoting "Ben A. Abderazek" <ben@s...>: > Hello helpers, > Is Altera NIOS processor source released? > If so, can any one tell me the link on the WEB.
Nope. Unless something strange has happened, the Nios (or Nios II) soft procesor cores are released as source. (I'm sure any Altera rep would correct me now if that was untrue. ;-)
There are however a very nice community site for the Nios processors. Check out: http://www.niosforum.com/
As an avid Nios user, I can agree that having the Nios as open source would be great. But remember Altera created Nios in order to increase sales of their FPGAs. At least that's my take on their business case for Nios.
