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...

You can use NIOSII also with DE1-SOC that have an ARM. You simply don't use ARM and instantiate NIOS in FPGA logic.

MAX10 require latest version of Quartus (>= 14.0).

QSys replaced SOPC Builder that is obsolete.

Anyway a ready kit is better.
