Problem with generating .Hex file from Nios IDE

I'm a newbie to NIOS Processor..

I'm facing a problem in generating .hex file for running the executable from an external memory.

I have developed my own DDR2 interface. This module is added to the system by defining its signals in the new component editor of SOPC builder(Memory is not added as an IP or onchip memory, but as an external component).

I have set the reset vector of the system to the defined memory component by editing its .tcl file.

Now the problem is that i'm not able to generate a .hex file for the memory defined in this way.

Is there any method of doing this through NIOS IDE?

    I think you can do that backwards in Quartus. Maybe you can just take an existing DDR2 controler from altera with the same size. For this one you should get an *.hex you can use with your own ram.
