How do I get to first base building legacy code for NIOSII processor? Can I do build on unrelated linux PC?

I have lots of Xilinx experience but nearly zero Altera experience. Oops, maybe I should say Intel... I have someone else's source code for a legacy project designed to run on an embedded linux proc...

Hi,

As you say it is legacy design. I advise you to follow the normal procedure of downloading a cross compiler ex: from Linaro, the Linux you want to compile and compile all the required files (U-boot, RFS, Linux, and DTS). The Quartus will help you to get the system .sof file to configure the FPGA.

Best regards,
