Hello SUN2004,

If I understand the schematic of the NIOS-EVALKIT-1C12 correctly the CPLD (EPM7064) is not for getting configuration data out of the flash to config the FPGA. The CPLD is used in conjunction with the USB (FTDI) to act like a USB-Blaster Cable. I think there is no possibility to store your configuration data on the board.

BTW: I’m using an EPM3128 as a configuration controller. The MAX3000 series is cheaper than the MAX7000 and has enough features for doing this job.

Bye,
