CFI-Flash & EPCS-programming in production

> Hope somebody of you has a better solution/idea for me!!!!

Well, you can program the EPCS device using active serial mode and the

standalone programmer:

As for the parallel flash, what did you plan on doing when you designed the board in

the first place? Nios has nothing to do with it -- other than providing a nice _alternative_

to traditional methods.

Regardless, I like to use u-boot (stored in the EPCS), which loads the application

code via TFTP and programs the parallel flash with the downloaded image. This is

all done with a default script and a downloaded script, and is _much_ faster than

using the JTAG.
