Hi sclarkca,

you can completly configure your Nios soft core processor:

- three different core in speed and logic occupation (e,s,f)

- cache memory

- peripheral such as uart and timer, in number and type

- you can include your own peripheral

and so on...

Arm processor isn't a soft core.

However to understand better the question you can download some ptf file about Nios from Altera site http://www.altera.com/ (http://www.altera.com/).

bye
