Hi Cris,

Thank you very much for your quickly reply.

I still doubt whether the small_boot_copier.s can be used for EPCS. Because at the head of this file defines:# define BOOT_IMAGE_ADDR ( FLASH_BASE + BOOT_IMAGE_OFFSET )

I guess this code can't work for EPCS, am I right? If so, do you have some example how to generate the small_boot_copier for EPCS?

I also tried to use the advanced boot copier. But I am using Quartus 13.1 in windows 7 (64), and I can generate the elf file only with the Nios2 SBT. I am not familiar with the linux style and don't know how to merge the example to my own hardware. Could you please help me?

Thanks again,

Derek
