adding build steps

I would like to be able to add steps into the build process. Ideally, I would like to add a pre-link compilation of a file that bears our project's date code, and a couple of post link processes to create the (custom) flash images that we require.

Can this be done without assuming full responsibility for the Makefile?

    Jim,

    I'm not sure if there's a way, within the framework that the IDE provides, but most of the stuff that controls this build process is contained in:

    <nios2_root>/components/altera_hal/build

    Additionally, if you go to <nios2_root>/bin/eclipse/plugins/com.altera.nj.doc.user/reference/altera_build_environment.htm, you can find the details on the Nios II build environment there...so that you&#39;ll know where to modify things, if you need to.

    Best Regards,
