Hi guys,

I need help with flash programming for a problem very similar to yours!

Like you, I can program flash converting .sof to .pof and load NiosII software via jtag after each start up, or I can program flash with Flash Programmer with .elf and load configuration hardware via jtag.

In these cases the system work.

But using Flash Programmer in NiosII IDE, I can't download correctly configuration hardware (.sof), so I can download a complete system (.sof+.elf) working at the power-up.

In the forum I read a lot of discussions over this problem, but all of them solved the problem with a patch of EDS 9.1 SP1, but I'm using Quartus 10.1 and Nios IDE 10.1 that solved this problem.

Someone can help me?
