Are You New to FPGAs in the Embedded Space? Get the Embedded Systems Lab

Become a system architect by creating an entire Nios II processor-based system in just three hours or less. This lab is a great tool if you are new to developing embedded systems on FPGAs, and explains not only the "how's" but also the "why's". The lab targets DE1 hardware, but you don't need the hardware to build the lab, only to test it.
