How do you launch "Memory Test" in Nios ii EDS command shell

Hi,

I have the "No CFI table found" error when I try to program

I guess you get problem with Flash.

To run without downloading to the flash :

1) To test memories with Altera programs,

you have to configure the FPGA with factory configuration (it is just a press button, or you can download via Quartus programmer)

2) You can run a software without downnloading programm to the flash :

In NIOS II IDE/SBT/EDS, you do "run as > ... hardware". By doing this, you download the programm to the RAM and run from here.

So, you can run the Altera memory test software

To create the diagnostic programm, in nios ii ide/sbt, create software from templates, you will find "hello world", "hello world small"....

To debug the Flash, you can laucnh a similar command in NIOS II Shell command :

nios2-flash-programmer --debug --base=0x0
