13 years agoOk, I will try the command shell option.
I write the commands you told me. But there is an error: "Input file, not found, or is not a valid SOF file"(see in screenshot). I guess the .sof is in a wrong directory. So could you please tell me in which directory the .sof belongs to? At the moment I have the following directory structure: desktop/Bootloader_Files/Projekt_altera -> there are all files (.qsys, .bsf, .qpf, ...) stored There are five more folders: .qsys_edit, Bootloader_Altera_E1, db, flash, incremental_db, script The .sof I want to write to flash is stored in another directory path: desktop/BootloaderTest/Lauflicht When I get this error message I copied the .sof from this directory path and paste it to desktop/Bootloader_Files/Projekt_altera, but still the same error. Where is the mistake in my actions? The offset value should be taken from datasheet, shouldn't it? I'm using 0x10, but the value isn't very important. It is just the offset within the flash where FPGA configuration is to be programmed, isn't it? Thus I can choose a arbitrary address. I start at the lowest programming region (as seen in screenshot). Sorry for getting on your nevres :). Best regards.
