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?

dsp builder for HPS? I've not used dsp builder, but itsn't it for creating FPGA images? Also, what's wrong with GUI?

I'm sorry-- BSP, not DSP. The problem is that if you want to automatically script a build process, needing to use the GUI creates a roadblock. I automatically generated the header files, DTB, DTS, and have them push to my dev kit automatically, but the BSP builder is in the way of that. I could set it to skip the BSP building process, I suppose.

    I don't like Eclipse either & code many languages.

    I think Altium Designer is way better but too expensive.
