hi,

could somebody tell me where to get my flash base adress http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#emo_dir#>/dry.gif

the fact is that when i looked in the standard design, i&#39;ve found that ext_flash is adressed at 0x00000000 and sdram at 0x01000000, but when i tryed to use the nios2-flash-programmer to upload the u-boot.flash (made with bin2flash) it&#39;s always failing with the 0x00000000 base adress, contrariwise, when i choose a 0x00800000 base adress, it works but the u-boot is apparently not in the user zone (i specified --location=0x00400000) since the green led of user il not lightened and u-boot not working.

i&#39;ve made that manipulation in the ide, programmed flash in the user zone and it worked fine.

Hi,

seemingly my flash base adress is 0x800000, don&#39;t ask how I get it, I just tried it and it&#39;s fine, where to get that information remains then a mystery to me.
