SOF file

Where do I find the location of the final output programming file (e.g. sof file) after a I have performed a full compilation?

How do I set its location and type?

Thank you.

    So the question is why can I not generate the opencore version of NIOS?

    Got it.

    Edit Settings->Compilation Process Settings->More Settings

    I had Open Core Evaluation Disable turned on.
