Nios Development Board Stratix II Edition

Hi,

i'm using Nios Development Board Stratix II Edition (http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-niosii-2s60.html).

Is it possible to dowload hardware.sof and zImage without using jtag connector to fpga (j24)?

In fact i've got problems with this connector and i can't use it to download configuration.

On the board there are two others jtag connetors: one (j27) connected to EPCS64 and one (j5) connected to EPM7256AE.

I've download .sof into EPCS using j27 but i think zImage is too large.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you.
