Can the .jic file, which is an FPGA configuration file, include the on-chip memory file of nios ii ?

Hello

If I specify the contents (.hex) of the on-chip memory of my Nios II embedded processor design,

compile it through Quartus Prime Pro, and use convert programming to create a .jic file,

will the on-chip memory contents also be loaded into the .jic file?

So, can I just load the jic file into external flash memory via a download cable?

Thank you

Michael

    Hi,
    Nios .hex image must be compiled into memory initialization, then it becomes part of configuration bit stream and is loaded with .jic or JTAG configuration.
