Problem with program_flash

Altera_Forum · ‎03-31-2005

Hi. I get this output when I run program_flash to program my Nios II kit:

Generating flash file for device ext_flash...
Programming device ext_flash...
31.mar.2005 15:02:18 - (INFO) nios2-flash-programmer: Input file empty--no data to program into flash. Exiting.
Generating flash file for device epcs_controller...

Programming device epcs_controller...
31.mar.2005 15:02:22 - (INFO) nios2-flash-programmer: Input file empty--no data to program into flash. Exiting.
...done

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Nios II. It functioned properly at the first times I run it, but then suddenly it stopped. I have looked at the program_flash script and removed the --silent switch, but I get no error messages. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Do you need anything more info? The file compiles properly and I get an aproxmently 1.5 MB elf file.

The problem is to do with the EPCS device. If you take a look at the ecos from epcs (http://www.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?act=st&f=19&t=1025) thread on this forum, you'll find a workaround explained there.

Thank you. That worked. Now I just have to find out what's wrong with my application...http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif
