2. Overview of Nios® II Embedded Development

There are two variation of Nios® II Software Developer's Handbook:
  • The Nios® II Classic Software Developer's Handbook describes embedded software development tools for the Nios® II Classic cores; and there are no future updates planned.
  • The Nios® II Software Developer's Handbook describes embedded software development tools for the Nios® II. It does not describe IP cores.

This handbook describes the basic information needed to develop embedded software for the Intel FPGA® Nios II processor. The Intel FPGA® Nios® II processor contains new features added after the Intel® Quartus® Prime 14.0 version. The chapters in this handbook describes the Nios® II software development environment, the Nios® II Embedded Design Suite (EDS) tools that are available to you, and the process for developing software.
