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

Nios is a soft IP so definitely it will be available in Cyclone IV. You can even put in more than 2 Nios, as long as the logic resources are available.

Thank you for the rely. In order to get 2 NIOS into the Cyclone IV, I had planned on using the largest IV FPGA which may be overkill but our requirements aren't quite set yet. Are he NIOS an IP that is instantiated into the design? How can I implement multiple NIOS? Thanks for your help.
