Ok, so now I'm confused again ... <<Emphasis added>> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> --- Quote Start --- source: nios ii flash programmer user guide, october 2005 When developing your hardware and/or software, you use the Nios II flash programmer on a computer with the Quartus II software and the Nios II development tools installed. However, in a production or service environment you might want to set up a computer to program flash memory without installing the full set of altera development tools. 1. Install the Quartus II Stand-alone Programmer from the Quartus II CD. The nios2-flash-programmer utility requires the Quartus II Stand Alone Programmer to access the JTAG chain on the board. 2. On a computer which has the Nios II development tools fully installed, find the executable file <Nios II Kit Path>/bin/nios2-flashprogrammer. exe. 3. On the stand-alone computer, copy nios2-flash-programmer.exe into the directory <Quartus II Stand-alone Programmer Path>/bin. 4. Open a command prompt on the stand-alone computer. Change directories to the location of the files you wish to program into flash memory. 5. Run the nios2-flash-programmer utility as described in Chapter 3, Using the Flash Programmer in Command-Line Mode.[/b] --- Quote End --- Have you tried this? ... doesn't this work? What point am I missing here? --Scott
