When you create SOPC Builder components, it's best to put one copy of each unique component in some repository directory which you include in your SOPC Builder search path (File -> SOPC Builder Setup). Then there is no need to copy the components around with the projects, creating multiple copies of them. Having multiple, different components of the same name in the SOPC Builder search path will definitly cause confusion. This really isnt just a problem with SOPC Builder either, any time you have different files of the same name in a search path, it's usually a recipe for confusion. Tns1 - Yes, you are supposed to pick your flash programmer project from the "Target" list in SOPC Builder when building your main system. This is the only way the flash programmer knows which flash programmer design to use to program flash on your board. If, you are leaving it as "unspecified board", that's probably the reason it's having trouble finding the proper .sof file. This is all documented in the Nios II Flash Programmer User Guide found on Altera's website at http://www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_nio..._programmer.pdf (http://www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_nios2_flash_programmer.pdf) Hope this helps, -Nate
