12 years agoI'm having the same issue as JayB. My design is for the Arria V starter board and included a NIOS that runs from on-chip memory and no flash memory. My on-chip memory is at address 0x0 and the cpu's reset vector is configured to point at 0x0. I've executed the following commands :
sof2flash --input=../../output_files/top.sof --output=top_hw.flash --offset=0x01640000 --pfl --optionbit=0x00018000 --programmingmode=FPP elf2flash --base=0x0000000 --end=0x07FFFFFF --reset=0x05280000 --input=ursa-nios.elf --output=ursa-nios_sw.flash The hardware boots but the NIOS never boots. JayB did you ever resolve this? Any insight would be greatly appreciated, Brian
