Mark,

Originally I was letting the Flash Programmer determine that given my BSP, sof, and elf file, but I tried a simple version in the Nios Shell.

elf2flash --input=ICETest.elf --output=ICETest.flash --base=0x4000000 --end=0x6000000. The base and end were taken from what the Flash Programmer was using. I just wanted to see if a .flash file was being generated based on my elf. The flash files were generated, but they were only 32 bytes. This is consistent with the Flash Programmer generated files.
