I've never tried porting old software to the new IDE but I suspect that it's not complicated. If you're willing to replace your Nios with a Nios II, then the software effort involved would be something like:

(1) copy all the old source code into a Nios II IDE project

(2) change all references to hardware to use HAL style references.

Could be more to it but I haven't tried myself.
