EPCS configuration image and data

Hi,

I try to program EPCS with configuration image and data by the NIOS ll flash programmer. In the Flash Programmer menu I placed the data file (hex) with some offset from the EPCS base address. After programming the EPCS the configuration part works properly but I have no idea how can i access to my data file? The data file is .hex file and has some 10 bytes of unsigned integers. In the NIOSll Flash programming guide part of the data saving is very minor and unclear.

Please advice.

    You probably need to access your EPCS through EPCS controller and its API which I think, makes use of CFI drivers in lower base. You can go through EPCS controller device core datasheet for more information.

    Hi, thanks.

    I solved the problem, the data file must be .bin (and not .hex).
