The Quartus II software is the primary FPGA development tool used to
create the reference designs used in this development kit.
Additionally, you may want to install the Nios II Embedded Design Suite
package also found in the Altera Design Software Suite. The Nios II
soft-core embedded processor runs on Altera FPGAs. Many of the
reference designs included in this development kit use the Nios
processor.
