Can I try the Nios II embedded processor (and tool chain) before I buy it?

A. Yes. You can download and design with the latest (fully functional) release of the Nios II embedded processor for free from the Altera website.

However, before shipping a product containing a Nios II processor-based system you must purchase a license. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
