Thank you for the reply.

Regarding my firmware files, here is how I prepare them:

1. I use the Nios II Command shell, to generate the hardware and software firmware files using sof2flash and elf2flash.

2. Then I comvert them in to the .bin files.

3. Finally I concatenate them.

I am using ADS over EtherCAT protocol to transfer the files in segments to the device and then use the stand Altera flash access functions to write the file on to the flash starting from offset 0x00000000.

So far this has not worked. What am i doing incorrectly here??
