About the
Example
Processor
Systems Example Processor Systems are Quartus II SOPC Builder designs
featuring a processor and peripherals targeted for the Altera Embedded
Systems Development Kit, Cyclone III Edition hardware.
Purpose
These pre-generated example processor systems can be used as starting
points for your own embedded development.
Examples
There are two example processor systems provided in the kit:
■ Nios II 3C120 General Purpose Microprocessor System (standard)
■ Nios II 3C120 Microprocessor System with LCD Controller (lcd)
Where to find
Provided in the
altera
\<version>\kits\cycloneIII_3C120_embedded\examples folder,
under standard and lcd respectively.
Benefits
■ Hardware designers can accelerate their own SOPC Builder system
development by using the Nios II 3C120 General Purpose
Microprocessor System as a starting point.
■ Since the board boots up with the Nios II 3C120 Microprocessor
System with LCD Controller software developers can use it for
software development right out of the box.
