Program on board FLASH

Hi all,

I have a Cyclone V GT development board. I want to program the on board FLASH to configure the FPGA.

How do I create the *.flash fie for programming the FLASH?

How do I load the file into the FLASH?

The Cyclone users manual says:

Creating Flash Files Using the Nios II EDS

If you have an FPGA design developed using the Quartus II software, and software

developed using the Nios II EDS, follow these instructions:

1. On the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > Altera > Nios II EDS > Nios II Command Shell.

When I open the shell I get the following message:

2 [main] bash 2092 find_fast_cwd: WARNING: Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer. Please report this problem to

the public mailing list cygwin@cygwin.com
