I'm not sure what you mean by "stand-alone FPGA programs" ... but here goes: -Yes, you can write your own applications that run under uClinux. -Yes, you can write your own applications that use the HAL (no Linux). -No, you can't run them at the same time. > An example would be me running an ADC program ... snip ... > and then in turn, output it via ethernet. Yes, this is where uClinux and Nios II are a great match. You can do this with a simple device driver and a simple application. You could even setup the web server to monitor data via a browser.
