Writing EPCS64 Device For Remote Update

Hi, I would like to use the Remote Update mode of Cyclone III device. I have achieved lots of things but I could not accomplish writing EPCS64. I want to write my factory image hw1+sw1 at base...

The more I think about it, I don't think the elf2hex utility will work for this purpose. I think elf2hex may only work when there is one simple section in your ELF file you are trying to convert. What you need is the entire object file in a format compatible with the boot loader.

Perhaps you could try elf2flash and then use srec_cat to convert the flash file to a hex file.

Is there a reason you don't just use the Nios II flash programmer? That would probably be easier.
