11 years agoYes, Nios is soft-processor, unlike "hard" ARM in SoC, its core(s) will be added in QSys to Quartus project, configured in detail and compiled to .sof | .rbf.
Default configuration in boards usually not contain any Nios-es. And if your loaded configuration really contain Nios, may try reboot of Windows to see normal system.
