Features: This book primarily introduces Altera's soft-core CPU, Nios, and the process and methods of embedded system design using this CPU. Based on this focus, it also covers the design principles and practical techniques of Altera's System on a Programmable Chip (SOPC), guiding readers to enter the realm of System on a Chip (SoC) with relatively low investment and at a faster pace. Using Altera's technical documentation as a reference, the book explains the CPU architecture, bus transmission modes, and related peripherals of the Nios soft-core processor in a step-by-step manner. It also briefly outlines the software development process. It serves as both an introductory guide to learning the Nios processor and a design reference manual. The appendix of the book includes contributions from all the winners of the Altera 2003 Nios Embedded Soft Core Processor Design Competition in the Mainland China and Taiwan regions, offering readers valuable insights. The book comes with a CD-ROM containing the 2004 version of Altera's Quartus II 4.0 software and the Nios processor development package, enabling readers to begin their journey with SOPC. This book is suitable for engineering technicians and teachers working in hardware design and system development in fields such as electronics and communications, as well as for use as a textbook for graduate students and senior undergraduate students in relevant disciplines.
