Creating Flash Files Using the Nios II EDS

You can obtain designs containing prepared .flash files from the
Kit
The Nios II EDS sof2flash command line utility converts your Quartus II-compiled
.sof into the .flash format necessary for the flash device. Similarly, the Nios II EDS
elf2flash command line utility converts your compiled and linked Executable and
Linking Format File (.elf) software design to .flash. After your design files are in the
.flash format, use the Board Update Portal or the Nios II EDS
nios2-flash-programmer utility to write the .flash files to the user hardware
user software locations of the flash memory.
For more information about Nios II EDS software tools and practices, refer to the
Embedded Software Development
If you have an FPGA design developed using the Quartus II software, and software
developed using the Nios II EDS, follow these instructions:
1. On the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > Altera > Nios II EDS > Nios II
2. In the Nios II command shell, navigate to the directory where your design files
The resulting .flash files are ready for flash device programming. If your design uses
additional files such as image data or files used by the runtime program, you must
first convert the files to .flash format and concatenate them into one .flash file before
using the Board Update Portal to upload them.
If you have .elf files for both user hardware 1 and user hardware 2 design, you need
to make sure the user software --reset location doesn't occupy a flash location that
contains the image of another user software design file.
The Board Update Portal standard .flash format conventionally uses either
<filename>_hw.flash for hardware design files or <filename>_sw.flash for software
design files.
