Nios II and ADC -- Cyclone III Dev. Board

Sorry, I've only just started using Altera FPGAs, and so far things went fine with Verilog and without using Nios II. I would now like to use a Nios II soft-processor for some signal processin...

Usually ADCs and DACs have some sort of communication interface like SPI or I2C, which you will be able to find ready made avalon components for. If you don't find anything you will need to implement the actual sampling logic yourself and just attach an avalon slave port to your block. The last part is similar to all avalon slaves and can be deduced from the exampels.

I'm no expert on displays so I'll let someone else handle that. If you post a link to the datasheet it might be easier to help.
