    This is what the site content list is for.

    In fact you don't "download an operating system" (I suppose you mean a "distribution") for NIOS, as for embedded applications the Linux Kernel and the Libraries and support programs need to be selected and configured according to the hardware used and purposes of the target device. So you need to set up a "build system" and "roll your own" distribution.
