Remote Update using EPCS64 with Nios

Hi all. I am hoping somebody can help. I have created a 'factory' image (fpga+nios code) that is stored at offset 0x0 in the EPCS64 device. So, it boots fine. Not to get too long win...

I'm about to try this myself. One thought - is your nios code in a M-RAM, that gets loaded by the EPCS boot loader, or are you using M4K's for your nios code with initialization in the FPGA config?

I plan to use the latter.

If you're using the first, then your NIOS code isn't coming from FPGA config data, it's somewhere else in the EPCS flash, and I think the same code will be loaded regardless of which FPGA image is configured.
