Nios II IDE Help System

New Nios II C/C++ Application (New Project Wizard)

You open this wizard page by expanding Altera Nios II in the New Project wizard,

clicking Nios II C/C++ Application, and then clicking Next.

The Nios II C/C++ Application pages of the New Project wizard allow you to create a new

Nios II C/C++ application project and an associated Nios II system library project.

The first page allows you to specify settings for the Nios II C/C++ application project. The

following controls are available:

Name—Specifies a valid project name for the new project.

Specify Location—When off, the Nios II IDE creates the new project directory in the

default location specified in the New Projects preference page. The name of the

project directory is the project name. Turning on Specify Location allows you to

specify an alternative project location in the Location box.

Note: Project directories cannot be nested. You cannot create a new project

inside the directory of an existing project.

Location—Specifies the base directory where the new project contents will reside.

Select Target Hardware—These options specify the target hardware.

o SOPC Builder System—Specifies the target SOPC Builder system. The SOPC

Builder system file (.ptf) defines the processors and peripherals included in

the SOPC Builder system. Select from the drop-down list of recently used

SOPC Builder systems, or click Browse... to find a specific .ptf file.

o CPU—Specifies the target processor in the SOPC Builder system. If there is

only one processor in the system, the Nios II IDE selects it automatically. If

there are multiple processors, you must select one from the list.

Select Project Template—The Nios II Embedded Design Suite (EDS) offers several

ready-made example designs. You can use these as reference designs, or as the basis

for your own projects. The Nios II IDE copies the design files for the selected template

into your project. Each template provides a readme.txt file that describes the

purpose and usage of the design files. Using Blank Project avoids copying any files

into the new project.

The second page allows you to specify settings for the associated Nios II BSP project. The

following controls are available:

Create a new system library named: <application project name>_syslib—

When selected, the Nios II IDE creates a new HAL system library project to accompany

your Nios II C/C++ application project. This is the default action, which is usually

desirable for single-threaded Nios II programs.

Select or create a system library—When selected, you can specify an existing

system library in the Available System Library Projects list, or create a new

system library via the New System Library Project... button. Multiple projects can

use a single system library.

o New System Library Project...—Launches a wizard to create a new system

library.
