when i use:

elf2flash --base=0x0 --end=0x3fffff --reset=0x0 --input=vmlinux --output=ext_flash.flash --boot=$sopc_kit_nios2/components/altera_nios2/boot_loader_cfi.srec

i get the ext_flash.flash with the size of 3.6m bytes, why the final file became so big, is the boot copier takes up 2.3m bytes?

i think the boot loader is no more then 500k bytes , why the .flash file became so big?

Hi,

the .flash-File is a Ascii-Hex File. One Byte is coded in more bytes....
