Altera Nios II, .elf & .sof in one .rbf file

Hi All, I am looking for information on how to concatenate a .elf and a .sof file into a single .rbf file. Any information/suggestions would be most appreciated thanks. -H

If all of your code resides in onchip memory, here's the flow you should use:

1. Generate your hardware system in SOPC Builder.

2. Build your software using either the IDE or Software Build Tools flow.

- If using SBT flow, be sure to take the extra step of generating memory initialization files.

3. Compile your design in Quartus II.

- The SOF compilation process should populate your internal memories, properly, and all should "just work".

Cheers,
