Custom Bridge?

Hello, 

I'm trying to create a custom bridge in SOPC builder. 

I can't seem to find any information on how to change a component made in the Component Editor into a bridge, so the Nios2 reset/int vectors can be set to the memory on the OTHER side of the bridge. 

 

The bridge itself works, but the problem is I cannot set the Nios 2 vectors to the on-chip RAM, and hence I cannot figure out how to generate the .DAT and .HEX files in Nios2 IDE for the memory on the other side of the bridge. 

 

The "bridge" is actually a network-on-chip, which has its own interfaces and the like.

I believe you have to use the "set_port_property" command and the property you need to set is "bridgesToMaster". The value of the property is the name of your Avalon MM Master port. 

 

Refer to the following:
