Figure 4-15 Nios Program Software Architecture 

Figure 4-15

 shows the software architecture of the Nios Program for the simple socket server. The 

top block containing the Nios  II processor and the necessary  hardware to  be implemented into the 
DE3  host  board.  The  software  device  drivers  contain  the  necessary  device  drivers  needed  for  the 
Ethernet and other hardware components to function. The HAL API block provides the interface for 
the  software  device  drivers,  while  the  MicroC/OS-II  provides  communication  services  to  the 
NicheStack  and  the  Simple  Socket  Server. The  NicheStack  TCP/IP  Stack  software  block  provides 
networking  services  to  the  application  block  where  it  contains  the tasks  for  Simple  Socket  Server 
and also LED management.
