The following components are required:

  • Quartus® II software version 15.0 SP1 or higher.
  • Nios II Embedded Design Suite (EDS) version 15.0 SP1 or higher.
  • The an459-design-files.zip archive.

    The an459-design-files.zip archive contains a hardware design example for the Nios II Cyclone V E FPGA Development Kit, along with software examples and a driver example named my_uart_driver. The following software example projects are included:

    • The bit_bang_uart application
    • The hello_world_my_uart application
    • The hal_my_uart BSP

an459-design-files.zip is available on the HAL Device Drivers Design Example page of the Altera website.
