No, I don't think so, because this setting in the SOPC builder second tab just telss the processor where to go after a reset. When I donwload a new elf file to the processor using the IDE, it tells it to start from another address (the one the program starts from). During the download process I see that the data is being downloaded into the flash (seeing the addresses being written). However, nothing gets printed. Has anyone have experience with running from flash memory ?
