在用Nios II做外设时序驱动的时候，经常会用延时函数。有时会常使用某个FPGA芯片和时钟，比如笔者一直使用的芯片是cyclone系列EP2C35F484C8N，PLL输入SOPC时钟是50M。因此，提前测试硬件运行延时情况并编写今后常用的延时函数有一定的意义。
软件：Quartus II 9.0, Nios II 9.0
硬件配置：
1、 在SOPC中调用Interval Timer核
图 1 调用Interval Timer核
2、配置Interval Time
图 2 Interval Timer参数配置
各参数说明请参照Quartus II Handbook Version 9.0 Volume 5: Embedded Peripherals, Chapter 24: Interval Timer Core.请根据需要进行设置。
3、更改核的名称
该名称可以按照自己的习惯取名。
图 3 更改核的名称
4、生成SOPC系统后，要在Nios II中进行设置。右击工程名->System Library Properties-> system library->Timestamp timer
图 4 Nios II设置
5、完成Nios II设置后，编译。

在ALT_CPU_FREQ处右击，选中Open Declaration,可以找到ALT_CPU_FREQ在system.h中的定义。其值与函数alt_timestamp_freq()返回的值相同，都是在SOPC中设置的。如图5所示。
图5 系统时钟设置
分析得知， 100us以下用while较准确， 100us以上用usleep。
补充：
1、 要在SOPC中加入Interval Timer，并在Nios II中”system library properties”中的”system library”中，为timestamp timer指定物理设备，即在SOPCBuilder中添加的timer。否则出现如下错误。
2、 如果没有头文件alt_types.h，会出现如下警告。
3、（2011.5.31）
在调试好延时函数之后，要将红圈处System Library Properties-> system library->Timestamp timer设置成none。本人就是遇到问题，比如最简单的LED跑马灯，同样的ptf和Nios II程序，之前做的可以运行。设置timer之后，实验没有现象，也没有提示错误，过了很久才找到的问题产生的原因。
4、（2011.6.15）对于时序比较复杂要求严格的控制，比如DS18B20，不适用于Nios II完全控制它的操作。先用硬件逻辑实现，再用Nios II读取温度数据的办法较好。
