Improve Your Nios II Development

Let our extensive experience with the Nios II family of microprocessors help your product development. ThreadX, our high-performance real-time kernel, helps improve your product's quality and its time-to-market. In addition, using ThreadX makes it easier to enhance your product in the future.

Nios II Optimizations

ThreadX optimizes context switching on the Nios II. When context switching occurs inside of a ThreadX service call, only the registers preserved across function calls are saved as part of the thread's context.

A similar technique is used in interrupt handling. On the front end of interrupt service routines, only the compiler's scratch registers are saved initially. The full register set is saved only if thread preemption is required.

Nios II Tool Integration

ThreadX is fully integrated with the Nios II Eclipse-based development tools, including automatic application template building.
