Hey everyone, I'm trying to burn Flash memory device (MT25QL256) with SW image (Nios Application) by Batch file with these commands, and always I get an error: C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.0\quartus\bin64\quartus_pgm --nios2 --epcq --base=0xY --csr=0xZ --cable="USB-Blaster [USB-2]" X.flash This Batch file located in the same path of "X.flash" file. When I'm trying to burn Flash memory device with "Nios II Command Shell 18.0" tool with these commands, It's work: 1. cd Path 2. quartus_pgm --nios2 --epcq --base=0xY --csr=0xZ --cable="USB-Blaster [USB-2]" X.flash The 'quartus_pgm' command is the same in both scenarios, so I don't understand why it doesn't work with the Batch file. Note - Path, X, Y and Z have no special meaning, I can't write down the original data. Thenks.

Hi,The Programmer uses these valid supported file formats: Programmer Object Files (.pof), SRAM Object Files (.sof), Jam File (.jam), or Jam Byte-Code File (.jbc). However, the command line quartus_pgm.exe can run in batch file where it reads the file and executes the command. Hope this could solve your issue.Thank you.Regards,Kelly Jialin

I'm sorry, but I don't understand how your answer help me.. As I mentioned, the 'quartus_pgm' command works in the "Nios II Command Shell 18.0" tool but not through the Batch file.The Batch file stores in the same Path as the other relevant files (X.flash and more). The 'quartus_pgm' command is the same in both scenarios, so I don't understand why it doesn't work with the Batch file. If it helps, the command I use to convert an elf file to a flash file: elf2flash --verbose --input=A.elf --output=X.flash --base=0xY --end=0xC --reset=0xB --boot=${SOPC_KIT_NIOS2}/components/altera_nios2/boot_loader_cfi.srec Note - Path, X, Y, Z, A, B and C have no special meaning, I can't write down the original data.

Hi,
The 'quartus_pgm' command cannot be used as it does not support a batch file, but 'quartus_pgm.exe' can run in batch file where it reads the file and executes the command.
Here is some information that might be useful to you: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683118/current/quartus-pgm-nios2.html
You can also look at the elf2flash section from the link above.

  Hey Kelly,
  
  I don't see any problem with my 'quartus_pgm' and 'elf2flash' commands.
  
  In addition, using the "Nios II Command Shell 18.0" tool, if something was not correct in the above commands, probably the programming and functioning of the system would not work either.
  
  Do you have another way to help me?

Hi,
Could you share your .bat file for reference?

You can also adjust the path:
C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.0\quartus\bin64\quartus_pgm --nios2 --epcq --base=0xY --csr=0xZ --cable="USB-Blaster [USB-2]" <path to X.flash file>.flash

Thank you.

  Hey Kelly,
  
  The Batch file:
  
  C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.0\quartus\bin64\quartus_pgm --nios2 --epcq --base=0xY --csr=0xZ --cable="USB-Blaster [USB-2]" X.flash
  
  pause
  
  Remminde you the Batch file stores in the same Path as the other relevant files (X.flash and more).

Hi,
Is the X.Flash in the path of C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.0\quartus\bin64\quartus_pgm?
Are they in the same directory with the quartus_pgm executable? If no, could you copy the X.flash in the same directory as the quartus_pgm.

Thank you.

  Hey Kelly,
  
  The Batch file in the same directory of the X.flash, for example:
  
  - Flash file directory - Path/X.flash.
  
  - Batch file directory - Path/Burn.bat.
  
  Do you want me to move the Flash file and Batch file to the path of quartus_pgm application? (C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.0\quartus\bin64\quartus_pgm)
  
  Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, move the flash file to the same directory as quartus_pgm but remain the batch file in the directory :
C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.0\quartus\bin64\quartus_pgm --nios2 --epcq --base=0xY --csr=0xZ --cable="USB-Blaster [USB-2]" X.flash

Hope this helps. Thank you.

  Hey Kelly,
  
  If I understand you correctly, the paths should be in this order:
  
  - Flash file directory - C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.0\quartus\bin64\X.flash.
  
  - Batch file directory - C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.0\quartus\bin64\Burn.bat.
  
  - Quartus_pgm application directory - C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.0\quartus\bin64\quartus_pgm.exe.
  
  And the text in the Batch file should be:
  
  C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.0\quartus\bin64\quartus_pgm --nios2 --epcq --base=0xY --csr=0xZ --cable="USB-Blaster [USB-2]" X.flash
  
  pause
  
  I'd appreciate your confirmation.
  
  Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, correct. Does your .bat file run with 'quartus_pgm' command now?
Thank you.
