Nios Embedded Processor In APEX board

[Altera_Forum]

hello...i really need all of your help..i'm a newbie of this FPGA stuff...will be doing my final year project using APEX board to use the nios embedded processor ... 

 Here the problem goes...  I have followed the nios hardware tutorials which basiccally teach me how to configure the hardware..creating a virtual processor in the board...so the question is...  a) what to do after that ??? http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif in the nios tutorial, there is one hello_world written in c language...what is the C file for ??? and now i&#39;m given a 32 bit programmer user guide...what is that for ? how to use it ?  C) do i need to learn VHDL ?  Maybe my questions sounds silly..but i hope friends out there can help me...  Happy to wait for your help !  Regards,  Wayne

 i also dunno wad to do after the hello world.. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif   i am thinking of using the whole board for purely digital design environment.... i dont like the nios http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif .... but i dunno how to do tht....  i want to use it for purely digital design rather than the Nios bcos the apex board has really huge resources compare to other board i hav,,,, any idea how to do it...  any altera people to help?...  ya ya... u can contact me by southparkjie@hotmail.com.... we can share our tot together as we hav the same board here...  regards, aretla   i get this msg when i post...  You have posted a message with more emoticons that this board allows.
