On Terasic user manual all is addressed from design to uploading software, chapter 9 address NIOS executable file conversion to JIC and how to upload EPCS device.

    ​Thanks for your fast response.

    I generated a jic file described in chapter 9 and the download process itself resonse me to be successful. But the demo software is not triggered.

    So do you have an idea what I can do to solve the described problem.

      I don't see enough details about to diagnose what can happen.

      take last official user manual from Terasic site or ask them sending more details.
