12 years agoHi there,
before you can download any code to your Nios you have to configure teh FPGA first. Use the Quartus programmer to download the .sof according to your NIOS first. After that you can download the NIOS code as often as you want, unless you do a power reset. If you do have an EPCS or CFI Flash then you can download the .sof to it, after that you can directly start your NIOS programm.
