Two x NIOS II boot from EPCQ in Quartus 13.1

can you give this example?

" managed to use on chip RAM as a boot up for the second CPU.

The on chip RAM is initialized using a .hex file.

The first CPU is booting up from EPCQ

Results:

Both CPU's are functioning well

"

yes, the base address of hex file is the base address of the memory

and you need to add offset to it

Booting up the FPGA configuration with one CPU is described here

Then forthe second CPU to be booted from on-chip memory, you need to do the following (of course the FPGA configuration must be loaded at the beginning as described in the above link)

1- Define on-chip memory as "RAM"

2- check "Enable non-default inistialization file" (refer to step 5 for the hex file generation)

3- in NIOS II settings, point the reset vector to the on chip memory

4- In order to generate the hex file from the elf file generated by Eclipse, the easiest way is shown below

5- Double click on "mem_init_generate" and the hex file is generated and saved in a folder inside your app folder

I don't know how do generating requisite hex file .because I generated hex file can't run the NIOS II.

Otherwise, My English is very poor so that can not effectively communicate with you, please don't laugh at me.

I sincerely hope to get your help.

I follow the steps you take the action, but also a successful production of the .HEX file I need.However, in the process of compile QII also called the following warning:

At the same time,NIOS II can not run.

This is ok...just ignore the warning

I forgot to tell you that in Quartus you need to refresh the memory initialization file .........Quartus Menu --> Processing --> Update memory initialization file
