    Thank you for posting and sharing the finding in Intel community forum, hope this message find you well and apologies for the delayed in response.
    Per understanding from the previous conversation, please do refer to the following steps here that will bring you through on generating the hex files.
    Hope that helps to clarify.

    Hi,


    May I know what is the error observed? The reason is that the image is very blur.

      Hii @JohnT_Intel @n_scott_pearson

      Thanks for replying

      1.Here the issue is how to generate .hex file (if i generate .hex file with the nios tool, while generating .jic file Quartus tool is telling like address overlap with 0x0000_00F0).

      2. What should be the address for Nios IP and generic serial IP for reset vector.

      3.what should be written in main.c (nios II SBT) to connect remote terminal

      4. how to connect remote teminal our project

      Thanks @JohnT_Intel

      Below i attached my project arria 10 (part number : 10AX115S2F45I1SG and flash EPCQL1024)

    Hi,


    May I know which HEX file should I used? I try both the hex file in software\arria10\mem_init folder and it is telling me that there is overlap data inside the hex file.

        Hi @JohnT_Intel

        what ever projet you give that project is not having nois ip and generic flash and remote ip also.

    Hi,

    I do not observed any attachment.

    1. May I know if you are using Quartus Programmer to program the jic file?

    2. When you mention not booting, is it the FPGA not configured successfully or the Nios II not booting successfully?

      Hi,

      May I know which address do you start writing into the flash? If you are writing into address 0x0 of the flash then it will not work. You will need write to address 0x20 of the flash.

      Do you generate with Little Endian or Big Endian? You can change the rpd endian through the Option setting.

    Hi,


    Can you try to generate big endian and see if the issue is resolved? If it is still not resolved, could you help to read the flash content?
