An embedded software designer is a software engineer who is developing software for an embedded processor (for example, the Nios® II embedded processor) on an FPGA.
Before taking this curriculum, Altera recommends reviewing the Design and Support Resources Guide as a starting place to get an overview of all of the collateral, tools, training, resources, and support available to help you throughout your design cycle. If you are new to programmable logic, this guide will help you quickly get started with Altera.
