Need a little more info.

If you're using NIOS II they have provided a flash programmer in the new IDE. If you use NIOS I then someone here can give you a hand (never don't it myself).

On the altera site I think there is a flash "bootloader" document. That should give you a pretty good idea of how to do it.

It sounds like those three .c files are all part of one project correct? When they are built using nios-build in the Nios SDK, it should create one .srec file that represents the entire program, say for instance hello_world_complete.srec. Using the srec2flash utility you can convert that .srec to a .flash file. Running nios-run on the resulting .flash file programs it into flash. The GERMS monitor running on Nios handles all the flash programming details.

Yes ,It is.When they are built using nios-build in the Nios SDK, it should create one .srec file that represents the entire program, say for instance hello_world_complete.srec. Why it should create one .srec file that represents the entire program.I don't think so.I mean how to download several .flash files to the ext_flash.Let me see a flash "bootloader" document on the altera web site.

Not sure what that was about.

Have you searched this forum yet (downloading to flash is a common topic here)
