5.1 FlashPrommer for production

As mentioned here the new flashprommer works fine if the workaround is used.

As we do not use the ide and therefore use commandline to programm the flash with the fpga images and the application binaries.

This works realy fine ..... as long as there is already a target nios.

But what about production purposes ? if there is a board that has never seen any nios ? the only solution we have found is to use the quartus prommer to store the actual image inside the fpga and then start the batch job to programm the flash.

but that is need very production friendly.

does anybody here know how to setup another cmd lines in a way that the fpga / flash can be programmed with just one ( !!! 1 !!! ) job ?

For production purposes it must be as easy as possible. some people in production want only one button (to start the job) and a green or a red light ( passed / fail indicator ).

another question / problem we have encoutered here is that the bash job must be located unter C:\altera\kits\nios2_51 to run properly. we could start the job from any other location without problem and it never succeded.
