Hi Martin, I don't see why you need to compile the whole design. Let's say you store your identifier at UFM location 0x10000. You could just flash the unit then update the identifier in UFM @0x10000 with a different NiosII through JTAG. You would need to recompile the NiosII C code since it has a different identifier . It should take about 10s of seconds to recompile just the ELF file for JTAG download.
