How to Download ELF file with using command promat

Hi,

I am using QII v11.0 with Eclips only(Not installing lagancy) on my machine.

My question is have you guys every try to download ELF/FLASH file using .BAT files?(i.e using command like "nios2-download")

I have tried but its given an error that "nios2-download cmd not found" so any one have an idea about how we can create quick demo using such above command for downloading SOF/JIC/POF and ELF/FLASH files on hardware without runing STB(Eclipse project).

Note:- If install legancy for NIOSII IDE then its work fine but i don't want to install it because i am using Eclipse SBT.

Thank In Advance

dg

    I recommend passing in the reset command as well. i.e. nios2-download -r -g <elf_file.elf>

    If you want to open a terminal connection it is nios2-terminal.

    Both of these commands have cable options as well in case you have multiple programming cables. Use the --help to find out more about the syntax in those cases.

    On Windows 7 I use the following two commands in the command prompt: 

    
<Quartus II Path>\bin\nios2-elf-objcopy <My Application Path>\<My Application name>.elf -O srec <My Application Path>\<My Application name>.srec
<Nios 2 EDS Path>\bin\nios2-gdb-server --cable="Usb-blaster " <My Application Path>\<My Application name>.srec --go
