Hi


For the Agilex5, the Hard Processor System(HPS) and the Nios V are different processors.


Nios V is a soft processor and it is based of a RISCV architecture, whereas the HPS consist the ARM Core that you mentioned.

Nios V - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/intellectual-property/processors-peripherals/niosv.html


HPS - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/762191/current/hard-processor-system-in-socs.html



There are multiple reading material for creating projects for Nios V and Baremetal project for the Agilex5.

Those are based of the Agilex5 Premium Devkit by Altera, however you could use it as a guidance to run it on the Agilex5 Eagle board.
