2.4. Nios® II Software Development Environment
The Nios® II EDS includes proprietary and open-source tools (such as the GNU C/C++ tool chain) for creating Nios® II programs. The Nios® II EDS automates board support package (BSP) creation for Nios® II processor-based systems, eliminating the need to spend time manually creating BSPs. The BSP provides a C/C++ runtime environment, insulating you from the hardware in your embedded system. Intel FPGA BSPs contain the Intel FPGA hardware abstraction layer (HAL), an optional RTOS, and device drivers.
