Two concurrent programming methods have been discussed in this thread:

1. Using Nios II Flash Programmer (which requires the EPCS serial flash controller module included to the NIOS II design and loaded previosly to the FPGA). Personally I'm not using NIOS II, so I can't give further hints regarding this method. See Nios II Flash Programmer User Guide for details.
