I've done it!

So now I'm writing the flash using the germs program, with to different Nios, Nios1 and Nios2, in the same chip. Depending on a strap, it boots with Nios1 and germs, or it boots with Nios2.

I think the problem with my previous generations was that the size was incorrect, and somehow, in the generated file, there was only the bootloader. Today I've done all the steps again, with the correct size, and it works. Thank you.
