Can I make stand-alone NiosII system?

Hi,all. I am going to build the stand-alone NiosII system. Already, I could build PC-connecting NiosII system but I don't know how to build the stand-alone (so PC-NOT-connecting) NiosII system....

If your software is small enough you can also pre-initialize on-chip memory to hold the software contents so that you don't need to copy it out of flash. You would still need to program the FPGA but the Nios II software contents would be part of it so that Nios II starts running as soon as the FPGA is configured.
