8Status:
9 v17.0

11Purpose:
12 Hardware Abstraction Layer for NIOSII based soft IP blocks.
13
14Description:
15 Altera Hardware Abstraction Layer(or Altera HAL) provides the
16 low level driver support for NIOSII based soft IP blocks.
17
18 Altera HAL primarily abstracts the low level hardware interactions
19 of different NIOSII based soft IP blocks like UART, I2C, SPI etc...
20 and provides the high level API's for the shim drivers.
21
22Dependencies:
23 Some of the Altera HAL drivers have dependency on the newlibc and
24 it needs to be enabled before enabling the Altera HAL.
25
26 The NIOSII port of Zephyr will be accessing the Altera HAL through
27 shim drivers to enable the different soft IP blocks on Zephyr.
