Hi,

Just to be clear here, I want the 'HOST' to reside on the NIOS to communicate with other 'TARGET's.

You can, for instance, do this with the ARM processors (among others). In fact, one of the options is for an ARM-uclinux configuration. This is why I think it may be possible on the NIOS/uCLinux combination.

Unless I'm mistaken the 'HOST' for a typical NIOS development cycle is the x86 PC.

Thanks!
