Simple familly and package to run a NIOSII softcore at a non critical design

I´m planning to create a new design composed of a CPU unit added with the usual resources ( timers, program and data memories, etc... ), including some built-in peripheral modules, such as 1 Ethernet...

I appreciate the suggestion, but the initial purpose was to use the NIOSII architecture.

For some reason, I did not find any option on SOPC Builder to synthesize on MAX10, but just for the MAXII is available, and for this reason I should select a chip which not only complies with the QFP derivative package constraint, but also satisfy the system resources requirements.

I'm noting that I will not find any component that meets the conditions imposed above, and in having to choose one based on BGA, it might be better to base the design on a ready kit, as it was recommended earlier to me.
