Introduced in 2001, the original Nios® embedded processor represented the industry's first viable commercial processor created specifically for embedded systems design in FPGAs. Since then, tens of thousands of FPGA users have adopted the Nios and Nios II processors from Altera. Complete embedded systems design technical documentation is available on the Nios Literature page.
Altera recommends the Nios II processors for all new embedded systems design activity.
