Hi Macro,

I do not understand what you actually want to do. Since you have a flash in you custom board, why not use it to store both .sof and .elf image? The reset address can be set to the start address which .elf is stored in flash.

I think, the real problem to you, is to set on-chip memory as running space of software due to error of sdram. This can be done in Nios II IDE, you can edit the system library property, link your elf to on-chip rom instead of sdram or ext_ram.

Hope this helps a bit.
