1.4.6.1. The Nios II Gen2 Processor Core

In v14.0, the Nios® II processor core includes a preview implementation of the Nios® II Gen2 processor core, supporting Intel's latest device families. The Nios® II Gen2 processor core delivers size and performance similar to the original Nios® II processor, and is compatible with Nios® II Classic processor code at the binary level.

The tool flow and HAL include options to support Nios® II Gen2 features. The workflow for generating BSPs and building software is the same, but BSPs generated for the Nios® II Classic processor must be regenerated.
