EPCS on a custom board

Hi, newbie here :-) I just got Nios II and trying to place it into my custom board with Cyclone EP1C6Q240C6. My serial EPROM is connected normally, to let FPGA "boot" from it: DATA0, nCS0, DCLK...

Hi,

You have to follow the instruction in "Nios II Flash Programmer's Guide" to make a Custom Target Board.

I found it by typing Custom Target Board in the knowledge base on Altera's website. I'm sure it's in the NII distribution as well.

It seems like a lot of hoops to jump through for boards with only an EPCS device, but it wasnt' too hard to follow and it was kinda neat to see my board in the list in SOPC builder.
