    Hi MK,

    Greetings and welcome to Intel's forum.

    There is not specific reason why it is greyed out. It is according to the base address you set in Platform Designer. You have the flash address set to 0x10000000, and the offset to 0x08b00000. Therefore, flash will start access at 0x18b00000.


    Hope this clarifies your doubts.

    Thank you.


    Regards,

    Kelly

Hi Kelly,

In my scenario, I am using debugger option through JTAG to run NIOS. So as per the discussion so far and understanding, the NIOS code is stored nowhere and hence the reset vector offset should not disrupt or affect the designed system in anyway. So I am not quite convinced with your statement. Am I missing something?
