Hi All  

 

i'm using startix IV GX, when i wish to program the flash with sof file  

i convert the sof to flash file using: 

sof2flash --input=db3610_altera.sof --output=db3610_altera_hw.flash --offset=0x2000000 --pfl --optionbit=0x00018000 --programmingmode=FPP 

 

 

and program the flash with  

nios2-flash-programmer --base=0x08000000 db3610_altera_hw.flash --cable=USB-Blaster  

 

the time of the flash programing is ~15-20 minutes. 

 

1. can I program the flash with quartus rather then nios. 

2. is there any way to reduce the programing time?? 

 

 

Thanks
