Software to manage input buttons

[Altera_Forum]

Hello dear people from Altera forums =) Another question by someone who is just starting. 

 I made a C program for the NIOS to blink some leds and stuff like that on my BeMicro FPGA using my keyboard as input.  Now i want my program to recieve the input from a button that will be connected to the FPGA pins.   I already did the Design on quartus II and generated my SOF file, now i need to do something like, when i click one button one led blinks, when i click another button the other led blinks.  (I just need help with how my program can see that the button was clicked)  I am kinda lost over here on how to do that.  Thanks for the help and i am loving this place :D

Just like you use the IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA(base, data) macro to turn on or off the LEDs, you can use the IORD_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA(base) macro on your buttons PIO to read the buttons state.
