Multiple Nios2 cores inside an FPGA?

Hello, Is it possible to have >1 Nios2 core inside a modern cyclone FPGA? And if so, can all the Altera development tools support this sort of platform? Thanks! Lefty

Thanks for the fast reply!

That sounds great. It would be a more mature technology to use than the SoC FPGA wouldn't it?

All the problems (in the SW dev tools for example) will by now be pipe-cleaned out and also I can pick and choose amongst CycloneIII or IV for example?

Are there any application notes/docs at Altera to specifically explain multi-core development?
