Hello, 

 

I am interested in working with Arria V for both: ARM and Nios (on the same fpga) 

I have found the following link which describes how to use multi Nios processor on same fpga. 

https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/nios2/n2sw_nii52015.pdf 

(https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/nios2/n2sw_nii52015.pdf)I would like to ask if it relevant also when using ARM and Nios together. 

 

Thank you for any assistance on start point with software on ARM & Nios system.

Yes, you can absolutely use Nios II and ARM Hard Processor System for your system design in Aria 5, and integrate using Qsys. There's some information here- ftp://ftp.altera.com/up/pub/altera_material/13.1/computer_systems/de1-soc/de1-soc_computer.pdf. For reference, here is a design example too-https://cloud.altera.com/devstore/platform/15.0.0/hps-to-nios-ii-based-fpga-warm-reset-design-example/
