    No, I know how to generate jic files. As you know, using nios requires the .elf file generated by nios in the process of generating .jic files. I want to know whether the .sof file generated by pl and ps after compilation includes the .elf file compiled in nios?

Will the part of the nios program in the .jic file be read from the flash?
