Monitor program vs NIOS EDS - Monitor program vs NIOS EDS Hello, I recently read several tutorials, one of them is monitor programming for NIOS II. What I don't understand, is why using this program (or if there is any advantage of using it) instead of using NIOS II EDS ? Thanks, ranran Replies: Re: Monitor program vs NIOS EDS Hello. Monitor Program was designed for the University Program supported by Intel. This program supports few development boards. The main development tool is Nios II EDS. Thanks
