$SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/bin/sof2flash --flash=U4 --offset=0x00600000 --input=D:/Nios/fla

shprogrammer/s25_lock.sof --output=s25_lock.flash

Flash file is too large to fit in flash memory

WARNING: Default charset GBK not supported, using ISO-8859-1 instead

the error when download application is:Flash file is too large to fit in flash memory

why? before download ext_flash.flash ,the file is 200kbyte

but after that ext_flash.flash is only 1kbyte

when run all is ok.

thank you
