Hi 

 

I am a beginner in FPGA world so some of my questions might sound foolish. I apologize for that. 

I have two Nios II EEK cyclone 3 edition boards. I want to connect these two kits through Ethernet cables and a switch and make them communicate (i.e Tx/Rx some data-say a string). 

If I start with the 'standard' system in both kits ., what more components would I need to add? Basically I am seeking any kind of help or suggestion which can guide me in a right direction .

As long as the standard system has the Ethernet interfaces, you don't need anything else. Just use the uCOS and the TCP/IP stack and you can use standard sockets to communicate.
