Were you planning on implementing the functions in software in a soft-core processor, or in hardware in the FPGA fabric?

I'm not sure I'm getting this, so basically I don't know which one I'll be implementing my project with and which one is the better one (easier or not, doesn't matter). I'm fairly new with FPGA and hardly ever used Cyclone II so I need to experiment around first to really understand FPGA. =/

The software component could be implemented using an instruction set simulator, I'm sure there is one for the Altera NIOS processor, though I have not used it.
Both the CPU and FPGA logic can be simulated using Modelsim. You can download the Modelsim Altera Edition simulator (its free) and test your designs there first. Then when you have access to your Cyclone board, you won't spend quite so much time debugging.

With a 14GB installation, that's high but it's not a problem if it's to help it out. :)
Hope you can further help me out on this, you and anyone else~!
