There is plenty of information on Altera's website, such as:

If you've installed QII and the Nios tools, you should also have a whole pile of documents on your system (try something like c:\Altera\kits\nios2\documents). Print out the "getting started" and "tutorial" documents and work through them.

In future, could you (and "CODE_IS_BAD") please note that this is an English language newsgroup (being an international group). If English is not your native tongue (or if, like me, you just can't spell very well), then there is no problem with poor spelling or grammar. But there is no excuse for writing in some silly teenage "SMS" code, or failing to use capitals as appropriate.

mvh.,

Make sure that unused IO are tri-stated in your fpga design.
