Hi AlexS,

> Can you explain or just show command line how to download HW+SW into EPCS ?

for your sw elf file (sw.elf):

$ elf2flash --epcs --base=0x0 --end=0x7fffffff --input=sw.elf --output=sw.flash

$ nios2-flash-programmer --epcs --input=sw.flash --sof=<PGM>

for your hw sof file (hw.sof):

$ sof2flash --epcs --input=hw.sof --offset=0x0 --output=hw.flash

$ nios2-flash-programmer --epcs --input=hw.flash --relocate --sof=<PGM>

The <PGM> is the sof file for your flash programmer design.

Regards,

--Scott
