1.6. EPCQ HAL Driver

The Nios® II hardware abstraction layer (HAL) driver has a generic application programming interface (API) for flash devices.

This API provides you with read and write access to the EPCQ flash through the Intel® Serial Flash controller for ACDS 15.0 or later. Use driver version 15.0 (or higher) for EPCQ software application development.
