When trying to use the NIOS IDE Flash Programmer on a custom board at USER, I get the message: 

 

CFI- no flashtable at address 0x00000000 

 

Programming aborts,  

 

There is only a CFI flash on this board, no EPCS 

 

The reset vector is pointing to ext-flash: 0x00000000 

The configuration controller is set to operate on: USER 0xC0000000 

Recovery 0xE0000000 

 

As the instruction says: the flash base is to be 0x00000000 

I put three flash sections in the SOPC: 

Hardware_FPGA 0x00000000 

USER 0xC0000000 

Recovery 0xE0000000 

 

Is there a communication between the NIOS Programmer and the config controller? 

Or do I have to change my reset vector? 

 

What do I have to change? 

 

Thanks in advance.
