Nios II Embedded Design Examples
The Nios II EDS includes documented software examples to demonstrate all prominent features of the
Nios II processor and the development environment. The examples can help you start the development of
your custom design. They provide a stable starting point for exploring design options. Also, they
demonstrate many commonly used features of the Nios II EDS.
Note:
The hardware design examples are available on the Embedded Processor Design Examples web
page.

Hardware Examples
You can run Nios II hardware designs on many Altera development boards. The hardware examples for
each Altera development board can be found in the kit installation provided with the board.
Note:
The Nios II with MMU design is intended to demonstrate Linux. This design does not work with
the SBT, because the SBT does not support the Nios II MMU.

Software Examples
You can run Nios II software examples that run on many of the hardware design examples described in
the previous section.
The Nios II software examples include templates to create the software projects using the Nios II SBT.
These templates do everything necessary to create a BSP and an application project for each software
example.
There are multiple software examples and BSP examples, each with its own directory.
