Cyclone II FPGA Starter Kit + NIOS II

[Altera_Forum]

Is it possible to create a NIOS II design using the Cyclone II FPGA Starter Kit shown the the Altera website (link (http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-cyc2-2c20n.html)) ? 

 This kit is based on an EP2C20F484C7N device. Althogh NIOS II supports the Cyclone II family, the Quartus 6.1 SOPC builder does not list this kit as a known NIOS II dev kit !!  Does this mean that I have to create my own "board description file" (which I assume is a .PTF file) ? Has anyone else done this ?  Or is this board a non-starter ?  I've done a search on this forum, but can't find any relevant info. Any help / clues would be much appreciated.  Regards Mark

It works fine. 

Just install the Nios IDE and you will find the projects. The only thing missing is ethernet.... http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif   -apus
