Hi

Commands to generate the hex file are given below.

sof2flash --epcs --compress --input=VHDL.sof --output=firmware.flash

elf2flash --epcs --after=firmware.flash --input=nios.elf --output=software.flash

nios2-elf-objcopy -I srec -O binary firmware.flash firmware.bin

nios2-elf-objcopy -I srec -O binary software.flash software.bin

cat firmware.bin software.bin > app_image.bin

nios2-elf-objcopy -I binary -O ihex app_image.bin app_image.hex

UsecQuartus pogrammer to convert this hex file to jic and program the board.

Using the above procedure, I am able to program the board and FPGA configures properly.
