Nios® II Processors
Nios® II processor, the world's most versatile processor, according to Gartner Research, is the most widely used soft processor in the FPGA industry. The Nios® II processor delivers unprecedented flexibility for your cost-sensitive, real-time, safety-critical (DO-254), and applications processing needs. The Nios® II processor supports all Intel® FPGA and SoC families.
Nios® II Processor
To obtain a new time-unlimited license file for the Nios II processor, you must purchase a standalone Nios II processor IP core license (ordering code: IP-NIOS). To renew your license, obtain a one-year renewal license (ordering code: IPR-NIOS). You can also purchase a value bundle that contains licenses for commonly used embedded IP cores—Embedded IP Suite (ordering code: IPS-EMBEDDED). Contact your local Intel representative or use the contact information on the Intel® software sales support page to order today. See Table 1 for ordering information.
Embedded IP Suite
The Embedded IP Suite is a value bundle of Intel’s most popular embedded IP cores and software for FPGAs. This Embedded IP Suite contains all the building blocks for your embedded design, including the Nios® II processor, DDR/DDR2/DDR3 memory controllers, a 16550 compatible UART, and a complete ethernet solution with the Intel® FPGA IP for Triple-Speed Ethernet.
To obtain the latest updates, features, bug fixes, or technical services, your license must be current. Use the following information to select the intellectual property (IP) core licenses that best meets your requirements:
- For a new time-unlimited license file for the Nios® II processor, you must purchase a standalone Nios® II processor IP core license (ordering code: IP-NIOS)
- To renew your license, obtain a one-year renewal license (ordering code: IPR-NIOS)
- You can also purchase a value bundle that contains licenses for commonly used embedded IP cores—Embedded IP Suite (ordering code: IPS-EMBEDDED)
The Embedded IP Suite is priced at $995. If purchased separately, the value of the cores and software add up to over $3,500. Contact your local Intel representative or use the contact information on the Intel® software sales support page to order today.
Ordering Codes and Pricing
After you have purchased the license for your embedded IP core, you can obtain and manage the license through the Self-Service Licensing Center.
