nios2-download standalone

Hello all,

for a demonstration I need the nios2-download utility "standalone".

I imagine the following steps:

- Use the QuartusII Programmer to load the fpga image

- Open the Nios2 SDK Shell

- use nios2-download to download my program into the sdram

The problem is, I don't want to install ~1.5GB for Quartus and the AlteraIDE on our laptop.

I tried to install only the Nios2IDE, but the setup complained about Quartus missing.

So my Question is, what do I need for nios2-download to work standalone, as the utility is a cygwin program?

Thanks,

Wolfgang

    Maybe you want to know the Jtag protocal,then design the standalone program.
