Thanks for all the advice so far! Well, the test program I want to put to the flash is about 10KBytes - it is a little flashing LED program with minimal libraries/etc - just something for me to get going standalone first! The command I entered was basically as shown in the screen on page 24 of the User Guide :- mk_target_board --name=target_board --family=cyclone --clock=50 --index=1 --buffer_size=4096 --epcs=U2 My device is a 1C12, and I chose 4096 instead of 16384 just to be safe!! I had some problems initially with quartus complaining about constraints, until I removing the asmi component. I added the EPCS controller and labelled it as U2. So as it stands now the programmer does appear to build in quartus okay - but does not want to work.
