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...

Hi Omernuz,

You can use the stock Nios II Flash Programmer for programming your first flash SOF/ELF pair into flash, but for the second pair you'll need to know a bit more.

You'd also have to modify the bootloader for the second pair or, like I've done in the past, just use a separate onchip memory for this bootloader.

I can describe an approach for doing this, if you like, but I'd recommend reading the following AN (and, perhaps, playing with the source code) before that:
