NiosII QSPI Flash

Hi, We have a NIOSII design which use QSPI flash (as NVM, no for programming). There are 2 IPs that could be used for this: 1. https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/lite...

Hi Eric,

We would like to use the a QSPI flash to contains the NIOSII application, and then copied it to the RAM.

The instruction as described in 'Embedded Design Handbook', version '2020.07.22', section '5.2.4.3. Nios II Processor Application Copied from QSPI Flash to RAM Using Boot Copier', use the 'Generic QUAD SPI Controller'.

As mentioned before, we use the 'Generic serial flash' controller to access the QSPI flash.

The question is, does the 'Generic serial flash' support the 'boot copier' option? and what is the required configuration?

Thanks.
