by reading through c code by debugging
we got cfi information misssing at ox11 addresss it had to be 0x52 but its showing ox5100.
even though i tried to flash both sof and hex files from nois2flash prorammer gui
its showing
error code8: programming file path --verbose
i find cfi table information is missing i tried to override my cfi flash by nios2override file by placing it in path nis2eds/bin
its showing
cfi erase region definitions dont match with device size
base address not aligned in device size (in my qsys address of generic controller is 0x01000000 )
how can i access the flash because i have to load (hex or flash file ) through uart and i have to write in flash and run it on power on
