I have the same exact problem with the new and improved flash programmer. You are supposed to be able to just create a board description and only need to designate the flash devices in the "Flash Memory" tab. After this, the programmer is supposed to work!! http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif

Not only does the programmer NOT work, but once I made a board description, my SOPC system no longer compiles! http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif

The Flash Programmer GUI gives the error message:

" the target board must define at least one hardware image to program an fpga configuration."

As for the post by Ilan - I don&#39;t have any tab anywhere called "more board system setting tab".

I also tried doing everything from the SDK shell where I had some success programming - but the verify fails!
