Embedded Processing
Embedded Portfolio
Altera’s FPGA and HardCopy ASIC devices are increasingly being adopted for custom system-on-chip (SOC) applications. Altera
offers the industry’s broadest selection of soft processors, software development tools, OS support, and embedded IP cores. All of
these elements support a single FPGA design flow based on Quartus II design software.
Nios II Embedded Processors
42
The Nios II processor in any one of Altera’s FPGA and
HardCopy devices offers a custom system-on-chip
solution that has the flexibility of software and the
performance of hardware. Through its innovative design,
the Nios II processor leverages the logic resources of the
device to provide unprecedented hard and soft real-time
capabilities. You can:
• Lower overall system cost, complexity, and power
• Scale performance with multiple processors, custom
• Target any Stratix, Cyclone, or Arria series FPGA or
• Eliminate the risk of processor and ASSP obsolescence.
• Take advantage of a royalty-free Nios II core license
