Honored ContributorThis behavior is my biggest frustration with the tools. I just ran into it again.
I decided to re-create the flash programmer project for one of my NiosII projects in hopes it would fix the "problem with target board" issue in the flash programmer utility. I created a new flash programmer project (with a different name), and then deleted the folders for the old project. I rebuilt everything and created a new hello_world app. "Run" worked fine, but the flash programmer did not work - it still referenced the old sof file from the old flash programmer project. Looking around I see no dialog that would allow me to associate a specific flash programmer project with a HW or SW application. The only reference I found was in the main project ptf file. The old flash programmer project name was still being referenced in the main project ptf. It appears that these references are updated the 1st time you create a flash programmer project, but not afterwards?? I too, would like some workaround for this. Can I just edit the ptf directly? A better explanation of the terminology/dialogs would help too, like why is the name of my flash programmer project showing up in the "target" pulldown in SOPC for my custom board main app? Should I be selecting this name or stick with "unspecified board"?
