Mentor Graphics Nucleus Products for the Nios® II Processor
Overview
The Eclipse-based Nucleus EDGE integrated development environment (IDE) and the royalty-free Nucleus RTOS software give Nios II processor users a comprehensive development environment in which to configure software. This total development environment allows you to better manage and build multicore applications such as wireless broadband, Wi-Fi, cellular infrastructure, wireline, industrial control, automotive, and medical.
The Nucleus EDGE support for Nios II processors includes the ability to automatically configure the Nucleus RTOS software using the Intel® FPGA Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). As a result, the Nucleus RTOS software can be adjusted to any hardware changes that you might make using Intel® FPGAs SOPC Builder system-level development tool. This is especially valuable during the earlier design phases when hardware may change frequently.
