Custom Instruction examples

[Altera_Forum]

I have created a set a custom instructions that demonstrate the various different types of custom instructions: 

 here is a quote from the intro in my tutorial:  <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>  --- Quote Start ---  Introduction        ... this tutorial came bundled with several custom instruction examples which cover many different types of possibilities; such as, internal registry options, I/O options, and stalling options.  Examples below use a multiply accumulate (MAC) example from a basic instruction to one that takes advantage of many sophistication options.  A MAC is an operation which takes an input and multiplies it with its current value and then accumulates it.  The basic functionality of a MAC can be found in an included custom instruction user guide on page 1-11.  A Taylor series calculator and a “blinker” custom instruction that interacts with the LEDs are also included.  The Taylor series calculator can be used to approximate functions while the LED blinker demonstrates IO with custom instructions. ...[/b]  --- Quote End ---    Unlike many other custom instructions, some of the ones in this bindle are non-stalling, which speeds up computation, and some that are IO capable.  Note: with the Altera custom instruction guide the file size was too large. So, you can find it at  http://www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_nio...instruction.pdf (http://www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_nios2_custom_instruction.pdf)
