What's next after Nios II software programming?

I am kinda new to FPGA programming. I have DE2 as my starting board. I have already experimented of how to code VHDL (not yet tried Verilog). I wanted a UART(RS232) interfacing to provide data...

Hi, you can use the flash memory to make a boot copy of your program. So, when the system is started the program is loaded to the onchip memory or the external SRAM, depends on your design. You should configure the reset vectors of the NIOS II processor.

My advice is to go through the Altera's online trainings.

Good luck.

Best regards,
