NEEK System Architect Tutorial

Hi

I am following the NIOS II system architect tutorial. It has a completed design folder, and a tutorial folder.

My question is how do I use the completed design without going through the tutorial? I can download .sof file to the NEEK board. How do I download the .elf file and the flush programmer file? My understanding is that I need all these 3 files to get the design work on the board?

Many think.

    Open Nios II SBT for Eclipse -> Nios II -> Flash Programmer

    In the tutorial you can see how to flash both the .sof and .elf files into the FPGA.

    Yes, this tutorial was easy. The Video tutorial is a pain in the ***.
