http://www.programmersheaven.com/zone3/cat...t1359/17063.htm (http://www.programmersheaven.com/zone3/cat1359/17063.htm)

a small tool to generate a c-array from a binary file.

for .sof --> .rbf (binary) use I use Quartus->file->convert programming file

for .elf --> .bin I use 2 steps

first step

elf2flash --input=$ELF_FILE --output=$FLASH_FILE --base=$FLASHBASE --end=$FLASHEND --boot=$BOOTLOADER --reset=$RESETADDRESS --flash=$FLASH_ID --verbose

second step

nios2-elf-objcopy -I srec -O binary $FLASH_FILE $BINARY_FILE -v
