This is not a problem. All you guys have to do is create your own SOPC builder cpu component (or copy and edit the existing one) for the specific FPGA. Add this to a VHDL project with the PLL and other logic of your own and compile the stuff. After this you can compile NIOS2 Linux kernels, file systems and projects for that cpu you created. Most or all of the nitty gritty stuff like IO sizes(Like how much leds, flash drivers ect) are taken care of by Linux. When you define a processor in the Kernel configuration tool, just select the closest one with almost the same perifferals as the ones you have. Enable and disable functions and modules in the configuration tool as you need. I did the same for the EP2C35 which doesn't have the stuff either. The stuff works great. Good luck Rual http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif
