The Nios II assembler provides a no-operation instruction,

3.9.10. Potential Unimplemented Instructions

Some Nios II processor cores do not support all instructions in hardware. In this case,
the processor generates an exception after issuing an unimplemented instruction. Only
the following instructions can generate an unimplemented instruction exception:
mul
muli
mulxss
mulxsu
mulxuu
div
divu
initda
All other instructions are guaranteed not to generate an unimplemented instruction
exception.
An exception routine must exercise caution if it uses these instructions, because they
could generate another exception before the previous exception is properly handled.
Refer to the "Unimplemented Instruction" section of this chapter for more information
regarding unimplemented instruction processing.
