Hi,

In my case, NIOS software is sent by FPGA code to NIOS who sends it to SRAM. I need the boot.c to be running in the NIOS core when it is started. I don't know how to make that.

When I open SOPC for the .ptf assiciated with my project, I see a ram_bootloader and a onchip_memory_0 module name ( on-chip memory component). In its option I see that it is possible to specify an .hex file with them. Is there a way to generate an hex file from my boot.c and to put it inside? does it have any sense?

Regards,
