Q about ARM Cortex-M1 IP Core and Cyclone III

Hello everyone.

I'm a newbie when it comes to working with FPGAs and had a question about how to run ARM Cortex-M1 (or any ARM based Processor for that matter) on an Altera FPGA. I've tried Google and searching throughout this forum for an answer but have been unsuccessful.

I know that Altera has a FPGA development kit that has a ARM Cortex-M1 chip on-board, but I'm trying to find out what is needed in order to load an ARM IP Core onto an Altera development FPGA that just has a Cyclone III that may have Nios II. In other words, can I use an ARM IP Core with any Altera FPGA that at least has a Cyclone III or does it work with only specific FPGA kits?

If I'm way off in my understanding of how the ARM IP Core works on FPGAs, please enlighten me or direct me to a link that may have the answers that I'm looking for.

Thanks!

Enjoy your weekend!
