2.10. Additional Nios® II Information

This handbook is one part of the complete Nios® II processor documentation suite. Consult the following references for further Nios® II information:
  • The Nios® II Processor Reference Guide defines the processor hardware architecture and features, including the instruction set architecture.
  • The Embedded Peripherals IP User Guide provides a reference for the peripherals distributed with the Nios® II processor. This handbook describes the hardware structure and Nios® II software drivers for each peripheral.
  • The Embedded Design Handbook describes how to use the software development tools effectively, and recommends design styles and practices for developing, debugging, and optimizing embedded systems.
  • The Intel FPGA Knowledge Database is an Internet resource that offers solutions to frequently asked questions with an easy-to-use search engine.
  • Application notes and tutorials offer step-by-step instructions on using the Nios® II processor for a specific application or purpose. These documents are available on the Intel FPGA Nios® II Processor Documentation web page.
  • The Nios® II EDS documentation launchpad. The launchpad is an HTML page installed with the Nios® II EDS, which provides links to Nios® II documentation, examples, and other resources. The way you open the launchpad depends on your software platform.
    • In the Windows operating system, on the Start menu, point to Programs > Intel FPGA > Nios II EDS, and click Nios® II <version> Documentation.
    • In the Linux operating system, open < Nios® II EDS install path>/documents/index.html in a web browser.
