Hi BigSid,


You do not need to copy and paste the .sof file into the same folder.

As long as Nios II command shell is enabled in your terminal, you will just required to go to the directory path with your project .sof file and execute sof2flash.


Thanks.

Hi Aik Eu,

Sorry, but I don't understand. The Nios II command shell is opened and I've entered the command to create a .flash file:

The error "sof2flash: command not found" is given.

How do I go to the directory path with my project .sof file and execute sof2flash? I don't know what that means. Do I do that in the command shell? If so, how? How do I execute sof2flash?

I appreciate your patience here but I just got the development kit and have never needed to create a .flash file before.

Thanks.
