Features: SOPC involves various concepts and technologies such as embedded systems, SoC, FPGA/CPLD, EDA, and hardware description languages. This book comprehensively, systematically, and thoroughly introduces the SOPC software and hardware design environment, principles, methods, and application technologies based on Altera's NiosⅡ embedded soft-core processor from the perspective of embedded application system design. The main contents include: the concept of SOPC, system composition, and development environment; the process and methods of using SOPCBuilder to develop hardware systems; the process and methods of using NiosⅡIDE to develop applications; FPGA configuration and Flash programming technologies; advanced techniques in SOPC system design; SOPC system development examples based on the CycloneⅡ development board; the functions, usage methods, and applications of the integrated simulation tool Simulator in QuartusⅡ and third-party simulation software ModelsSim in SOPC. This book can serve as a textbook or reference material for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in computer science, automation, and other related fields in universities and colleges. It can also be used as a reference for embedded system and SOPC application system development engineers.
