Hi there,

 

what kind of special registers are inside the NIOS II (SoC) and what are they used for?

Are they different from a regular CPU special registers?

 

best regards,

Mateusz

Hi, NIOS II is a soft core processor, while SoC is ARM based hard core processor. May I know which processor are you looking for?
