6.4.3.1. HAL System Library Support

For Nios II processor users, Intel provides HAL system library drivers that allow you to initialize and access the Avalon® Data Pattern Generator and Checker IPs. Intel recommends you use the provided drivers to access the IPs instead of accessing the registers directly.

For Nios II IDE users, copy the provided drivers from the following installation folders to your software application directory:

  • <IP installation directory>/ip/sopc_builder_ip/altera_ Avalon® _data_source/HAL
  • <IP installation directory>/ip/sopc_builder_ip/altera_ Avalon® _data_sink/HAL
Note: This instruction does not apply if you use the Nios II command-line tools.
