Does CoDeveloper require that an embedded processor be used in the FPGA?
No, an embedded processor is not required. If the target device includes a Xilinx MicroBlaze or PowerPC processor core, or an Altera Nios or Nios II processor, then the CoDeveloper compiler allows hardware processes to be described in C and connected to software running on the embedded processor. If, however, the goal is to connect Impulse C generated processes to other hardware elements (such as those written in VHDL or Verilog) then there is no need to use an embedded processor, and CoDeveloper can be thought of as a hardware IP block generator.
