question: does Nios 1.1 actually require quartus 4.2 to operate? and if so, how come? My version is 4.1 which is sp2. That is what came with my Nios devkit.

additionally, is it possible to change the exception address? basically my bootstrap code operates out of internal ROM (so reset/exception are located there) - however after loading my main program I'd need to re-position that exception address from the internal ROM to the real program's handler in SDRAM.

Is there a jump vector as such (changeable) - or is that exception address effectively hard-wired at nios-compile-time?

Thanks.

ps. in case you're wondering why I am doing this, it is because mk_target_board does not work and I am trying my best to get my design to operate standalone........ a feature which i do indeed need badly.
