AN458 Alternative Nios II Boot Methods doesn't work with Quartus Lite toolsuite

1,095 Views

I would like to share what I have experienced with AN458.

It used to work with the older Quartus versions, but since Quartus Lite it doesn't work any more.

I don't know the exact reason but make_flash_image_script.sh file must be modified: this code section must be commented:

conv -d $fake_copier ;

# check for errors

if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then

echo ""

echo "error: trying to convert the file $fake_copier to dos format."

echo ""

echo "deleting file $fake_copier, and $tmp0_outfile_elf and exiting!"

echo ""

rm -f $fake_copier;

rm -f $tmp0_outfile_elf;

exit 1;

it used to transform the LF (Line Feed) into CR LF (Carriage Return + Line Feed)
