15 years ago --- Quote Start --- Interesting.. For a system that shares the epcs between configuration data and nios software you just select the .sof and the .elf in the tab Flash:epcs_controller in the , without any additional argument ? --- Quote End --- Yes, without any arguments. I download sof file to device by Quartus Programmer and write flash (.sof and .elf) by Nios II Flash Programmer. Simply press "Connection" button, check system ID and timestamp, add .sof and .elf without offset, then start flashing device. Nios II Flash Programmer automatically writes hw design into epcs, then writes bootloader, then writes sw. Then reset device. After that device configures itself, writes bootloader into onchip ram, then bootloader copies code to memory, which defined as .text and so on, except reset vector, which should be pointed to epcs (check it by BSP editor).
