Is it possible to create a NIOS BSP **without** Eclipse?

Is it possible to **never** use eclipse when developing NIOS software? How can one create a BSP from an sopcinfo **without** this kludgy retrograde eclipse?

There are some command line tools that generate the BSP, and you can call them directly without using Eclipse. Unfortunately I'm only familiar with the old workflow using .ptf files (which have been deprecated with QSys) so I can't give you more pointers. But if you have a look for example at the Linux for Nios distribution and see how it is built. Last time I checked those tools looked complicated to use though.
