We use in the lab Altera Monitor Program to download the NIOSII Processor on the FPGA chip and to compile the C-language codes. is there any way or simulator to do the experiments during lockdown without the Chip?

Hi, Zabin

The method or link I listed below will work for Nios simulation (with application C code).

Do you have anymore question ? can we close the case ?

Thanks.

Hi, Zabin

You can run Nios II RTL simulation to verify your design without downloading to FPGA.

Platform Designer will allow you to generate a testbench and a tcl file for simulation using ModelSim. Nios SBT will allow you to generate .mif files (your C code) for memory initialization.

You may refer to page 433 to 439 of below:
