Altera_ro_zipfs NIOSII for Eclipse

To finish this question.

Create your hardware project with flash memory using SOPC builder.

Create NIOSII project for this .sopcinfo hardware project.

To use "Read only zip file system" to read files from Flash memory.

I activated "altera_ro_zipfs" from NIOSII BSP editor with next parameters:

ro_zipfs_base - base address of my Flash memory.

Then:

"BSP" --> Build project..

Then :

"Flash Programmer" --> New --> your BSP project -->

ADD all your no compressed files to use (change offset for each file) -->

Start (programming) --> check "checksum"

Then:

"BSP" --> Build Project --> see "flash" folder in BSP directory with your files (.flash)

Then:

-- Create ZIP folder with your "no" compressed files.

-- Copy this ZIP folder to application directory of your project.

Then:

-- "Flash Programmer" --> New --> your project BSP -->

Add the ZIP folder with according offset(you did it in

Altera_ro_zipfs ) --> Start (programming) --> check "checksum".

Be carefull !

The manual "12. read-only zip file system" was written not clearly!

It doesn't include a lot of new changes.

The sample on the Altera side is more complicated and doesn't give a freedom to do for each board with flash memory.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the help!!!
