Hi sunclever,

> do you know how to change the permission of files in such system or nios IDE?

I went through this some time ago before switching to cramfs/jffs2, so the

following is subject to memory loss ;-) ...

I believe all you need to do is give your file an 'exe' extension. When the romfs is

created via the IDE, the exe extension is removed and the execute attribute

should be set.
