Creating the Example Design Nios II Hardware Development Tutorial
Figure 1–19. Nios II IDE New Project Wizard
The Nios II IDE creates and displays these new projects in the Nios II C/
C++ Projects view on the left-hand side of the workbench:
■ count_binary_0 - Your C/C++ application project
■ count_binary_0_syslib - A board support package that encapsulates
the details of the Nios II system hardware
■ altera.components - Links to source code for all Altera-provided
components, for use during debug sessions
Compile the Project
In this section you compile the project to produce an executable software
image. For the example tutorial design, you must first adjust the project
settings to minimize the memory footprint of the software, because your
Nios II hardware system contains only 20 Kbytes of memory.
