Hi people!!

I have exactly the same problem!!

I think that it's impossible to load two program code niosII with only one EPCS in 'automic' mode...

So we will must to make something with the bootloader as you tell before...

It's a good idea to load the first niosII and then that this one take the information for the second nios from EPCS and loads in ram... But it looks no easy!!

Have somebody experience with this type of bootings???

Thank you!!
