20 years agoNow I could see the flash programmer in the NiosII IDE
indeed work,because I see something like this while programming: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Reading 85KBytes of data from U15: |----.----+----.----| ********************* (31.454 sec). Aug 2, 2005 6:51:09 PM - (??) nios2-flash-programmer: Success. Zero bytes writt en to U15- (because device matched contents of For_UP3.flash) Aug 2, 2005 6:51:09 PM - (??) nios2-flash-programmer: Flash programming complete --------------------------------------------------------------------- However,there comes out some new message after above like this:: ----------------------------------- Aug 2, 2005 6:51:10 PM - (??) nios2-flash-programmer: Input file empty--no data to program into flash. Exiting. Aug 2, 2005 6:51:11 PM - (??) nios2-flash-programmer : SOF-download skipped. Aug 2, 2005 6:51:14 PM - (??) nios2-flash-programmer : Flash file is too large to fit in flash memory ----------------------------------- But at then what the design I wanted to program into the Flash is a "Hello_World" project template,perhaps the smallest design of all. So how could this file be so large that cannot be programmed into the Flash chip,whose size is 2M ? Besides,I tried to program some other template projects into the Flash chip,but the message were all the same as above indicating they were too large to program. Could anyone tell me why this happen? Thanks in advance! Regards, Don
