Using the Nios II Evaluation Kit
Creating Customized Processor Systems
Hardware and system designers can create their own customized
systems using SOPC Builder and the Quartus II software. The best place
to learn more about this powerful capability is by purchasing one of the
following full-featured Nios II development kits:
■ Nios II Development Kit, Stratix II Edition
■ Nios II Development Kit, Stratix Edition
■ Nios II Development Kit, Stratix Professional Edition
■ Nios II Development Kit, Cyclone II Edition
■ Nios II Development Kit, Cyclone Edition
These kits contain extensive reference designs, documentation, and step-
by-step tutorials that will aid you in creating embedded processor
subsystems just the way you require.
1 A 10/100 Ethernet MAC from MoreThanIP GmbH is included
in the factory programmed design on the embedded processor
module. If you want to generate hardware systems using this
MAC, contact MoreThanIP at www.morethanip.com.
