Application Selector Details
This section describes some details about the operation of the application selector utility.
SD Card
The Application Selector uses an SD card for storing applications. The SD card must be formatted with
the FAT 16 file system, and can be any capacity up to 4GB. Long file names are supported. The Nios II
CPU access the SD card through an SD card SPI controller.
Application Files
Each loadable application consists of two binary files, all stored on the SD card. The first binary file
represents the software portion of the example and must be derived from an .ELF file as described in the
section of this document titled “Creating Your Own Loadable Applications”. This binary file can be
named anything supported by the FAT16 file system, the only restriction being that the name must end
with
_SW
.bin. The second binary file represents the hardware portion of the example and must be
derived from a .SOF file as described in the section of this document titled “Creating Your Own
Loadable Applications”. This file can be named anything supported by the FAT 16 file system, the only
restriction being that the name must end with
_HW
.bin.
