Intel: When simulating with Nios®II, is there a way to reduce the time it takes for the main() function to fire?

Nios IISimulation

Category: Nios® II
Tools: Nios® II EDS / ModelSim®-Intel® FPGA Edition
device:-


When using ModelSim® from the Nios® II Software Build Tools (SBT) for Eclipse to perform a simulation that includes software, some processing at startup can be omitted (*1) by checking enable_sim_optimize in the BSP Editor. You can shorten the time until the main() function is executed.

*1 Codes built with this option checked cannot be used in actual applications.
