How does the Nios II architecture differ from the first-generation Nios processor?
The Nios II processor has a 32-bit RISC instruction-set architecture, whereas the first-generation Nios processor has a 16-bit instruction-set architecture. The Nios II processor reaches new levels of efficiency and performance over the Nios processor core because it consumes much fewer FPGA resources yet quadruples computational performance. The Nios II processor also simplifies the processor selection process by providing a set of pre-optimized cores targeting specific price (logic usage) and performance constraints. What market segments does the Nios II processors target? The Nios II processor family can be used in a wide range of applications that require a general-purpose, 32-bit embedded microprocessor. What is the Nios II C-to-Hardware (C2H) acceleration compiler? The Nios II C2H acceleration compiler is a Nios II productivity tool that automatically accelerates performance-critical software subroutines to significantly improve total system performance.The Nios II C2H accelerati
