learning to load nios II program to A10 GX develop kit flash

Hi,

The design example is designed specifically based on Quartus 15.1 pro version and therefore if a different version is used, user is expected to be familiar with the IP upgrades.

Flashing onto the A10GX FPGA will be via EPCQ flash.

You may refer to this link to look at the EPCQ booting flow and information: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683104/current/nios-ii-processor-booting-from-altera.html

There will be 2 methods to boot via EPCQ flash which are:

• The Nios® II processor application executes in place from EPCQ flash.
• The Nios® II processor application is copied from EPCQ flash to RAM using a boot copier.

The booting methods will be chosen based on your needs and attached here is the link for your reference: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683104/current/scenarios-for-booting-nios-ii-from-epcq.html

Kindly have a look at the documents attached with link above. Thank you.

Regards,

Kelly
