1.3.1. Manual Update with Migration Tcl script
In ACDS 14.0, a migration script has been created that migrates hardware designs from Nios II Classic to Nios II Gen2. To migrate your existing Qsys design to the Nios II Gen2 processor, follow the steps below:
- Download nios2_gen2_migration.tcl and put the script in your project directory
- Run Nios II Command Shell in a Windows system or console in a Linux system.
- Browse to your project directory and locate your system Qsys project file:
<your_qsys_project name>.qsys
- Once in the directory run the following command:
qsys-script--script=nios2_gen2_migration.tcl--system-file=<your_qsys_project name>.qsys
- Regenerate Qsys and recompile your project after applying the above Tcl script in Quartus II.
- Open the Nios II SBT and run "generate bsp-editor" in Nios II EDS to update the BSP.
