Can I switch between the hardware or software implementations of the algorithms during development?
A. Yes, the Nios II processor IDE lets you easily add or remove functions from the Accelerated Functions view. Once a software routine has been selected for acceleration, you can still opt to run your applications using either the software or hardware implementations. You can use this feature to verify that the Nios II processor C2H acceleration compiler-generated hardware accelerator is functionally identical to the original software algorithm.
