Course Description
In this class, you will learn to develop and run embedded software for the Nios® II processor using the Nios II Embedded Development Suite. This course utilizes one of the Nios II Development Kits so that you can download, run, and debug your code on an Altera FPGA configured with a Nios processor. You will participate in discussions about the features and capabilities of the software tools. After taking this course, you should feel confident tackling your next embedded programming project.
