NIOS II / Cyclone II - Multiply, Barrel Shift and Divide

Hi,

When targeting the Cyclone II, the NIOS II/f configuration in SOPC
builder doesn't seem to list support for either multipler,
barrel-shifter or divide. Support for these only seems to be available
when the target is a Stratix  device. Is this correct? Is it not
possible to get h/w multiply support on the Cyclone II?

I'm using the eval version of NIOS II.

Cheers,
Jon

Hi Jon,

The HW multipliers in Cyclone II will absolutely be supported. Just
stay tuned for the next Nios II release.
