Program EPCS from user code?

if you&#39;ve ever programmed the sof to flash, you should see a <sof_name>.flash file in the debug|release subdirectory of your project. there&#39;s also an auto-generated <project_name>_programmer.sh script which should make it apparent how all this stuff works....

this script uses:

1. sof2flash to generate the <sof_name>.flash file.

and

2. nios2-flash-programmer to program it to the flash device.

cheers,

Ahh, thanks, that explains it. I work on two machines, Windows for Quartus and Linux for NIOS IDE and I was looking on the Linux box which wasn&#39;t used to program the sof to flash.

So it looks like reading SREC or .flash is the most convenient file format to use for a in-system ugrade utility.
