Hi Alex,

You are correct; the nios2-flash-programmer command syntax is changed in 5.1.

1) Start a Nios II SDK Shell (SOPC builder --> Tools --> Nios II SDK Shell)

2) At the CYGWIN command-line, type....

nios2-flash-programmer --base=0x0000000 {yourPath}/vmlinux.flash

If all goes well, uploading to the device should take a minute or so.

Later, you can use exactly the same method to upload 'romfs.flash' also.
