Hi, Johnson

Would you try this, when you generate the .hex from .elf using mem_init_generate utility in your EDS, ie right click on project in Project Explorer, and Make Targets > Build.

After you get your .hex under mem_init folder, also look for meminit.qip, and add this meminit.qip to your Quartus project and then generate the .sof.

Next when you convert the programming file, just convert this .sof to .jic or .pof, and then program this .jic or .pof into your flash.

Thanks.

Eric
