I have an Altera Cyclone II EP2C8Q208 FPGA Nios II core board, my task is to build NIOS II processor and run linux on it. I am googling it a lot but could not find a good simple step by step tutorial yet. I am a beginner pls help me.

If you want to run Linux on an Nios2 cpu system, you need at least 50,000 LEs and 600,000 bits embedded memories. So I think Cyclone II EP2C8Q208 is too small (and slow) to do it.
