    Hi


    Could you try using the nios2 download command instead of the niosV?


    nios2-download / software/tx_control/tx_control.elf -g -r -i 1


    Just take not to close your nios uart terminal before downloading the nios2 elf.

Hi


After flashing the sof, you will need to reflash the niosII elf file through the nios2-download command again.


Yes you could, use the latest flow.

Please note that in the latest flow in 24.1 it is using the niosV processor.

The niosV processor is a newer soft processor compared to the niosII.
