This is the third and final post for our blog series describing how to add the SimpleLink CC2650 wireless microcontroller (MCU), a Bluetooth® Smart device, to your Altera FPGA project. In Part 1, we discussed building the hardware portion of our FPGA project.  Next, in Part 2 we covered how to set up the Nios II software project and then…

Following Part 1 of our blog series, we will go through the process of setting up the software for our NIOS II processor. As a refresher, the Nios II processor is an Altera soft controller that is instantiated inside the FPGA. In our example, we are using the Nios II to read the DECA board’s sensor data and…

In today’s smart device world, designers are faced with the challenge of adding wireless communication interfaces to their products. Whether you need to provide simple monitoring, data backhaul or product reconfiguration, the ability to add wireless device interfaces has become a requirement rather than an option. One technology found in many of today’s products is…
