Nios II dual core lock step mode

Working on an automotive application that requires functional safety (ASIL-D) that will run on a Max10 device.  Many of the Max10 top-level documents indicate there is a "dual core lockstep mode" but I am not able to find any documents, tutorials, or other reference material to support this mode.

Can anyone confirm that "dual core lockstep" actually exists?  

Does anyone have links that could help me setup this mode?

Best regards,

-Tom Flint

Hi, Tom


There is dual Nios lockstep available.


Do you already have the Lockstep IP ? It is available to you if you have purchased the FSDP (functional safety data pack).

Six Weeks?

I ask this question and it takes SIX WEEKS for intel to say, "it exists, we hide it in the functional data safety package, that will be 5000 bucks please".

Moving at internet speed I see.
