Software Development Tools

Nios II Integrated Development Environment

The Nios® II Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is the primary software development tool for the Nios II family of embedded processors. You can accomplish all software development tasks within the Nios II IDE, including editing, building, and debugging programs. Watch a free training video of the Nios II IDE.

With a PC, an Altera® FPGA, and a download cable, you have everything needed to write programs for, and communicate with, any Nios II processor system. See what's new with the latest release.

Nios II IDE key features:

  • New project wizards and software templates
  • Compiler for C and C++ (GNU)
  • Source navigator, editor, and debugger
  • Eclipse project-based tools
  • Software build tools
  • Nios II C-to-Hardware (C2H) Acceleration Compiler (licensed separately) 
  • Complete documentation and training

The new Nios II Software Build Tools for Eclipse is the next generation of the Nios II IDE. The Nios II IDE will continue to ship as a legacy tool.
