Remote update your design
Create your custom Quartus project. If your project contains a nios II system with a
software, you should add a CFI_Flash device on address map 0x00000000 and set
the nios2 reset vector to the Flash device. The offset should be 0x071c0000.
In Nios II Command Shell, convert your custom sof and elf file to flash file with the
below commands.
For sof files:
sof2flash
--input=xxxx.sof
--output=xxx.flash
--offset=0x02940000
--pfl
--optionbit=0x00030000
--programmingmode=FPP (the sof file name should be changed according to your quartus project name)
For elf file:
elf2flash
--base=0x00000000
--end=0x07FFFFFF
--reset=0x071c0000
--input=xxx.elf
--output=xxx.flash
--boot=$SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/components/altera_nios2/boot_loader_cfi.srec (the elf file name should be changed
according to your nios2 software project name)
