boot copier for SSRAM

In my project I want to make so that the Nios loaded program from SSRAM into onchipram. Is it possible? How to create boot copier for SSRAM? Somebody has applications, documents with the description...

If you have some method of getting the initialised code into SSRAM, you should just be able to point the nios's reset vector into SSRAM.

I'm not sure how you are going to manage to initialise the SSRAM though! Since it is unlikely to be initialised at power on, you'll need to keep the nios in soft-reset until the SSRAM contents are valid.
