When I use nios2-srec2flash to convert .srec to .flash I get the following message: 

 

nios2-srec2flash xxxxx.SREC 

 

flash address: 0x00140000 

ram address: 0x00040000 

max copy size: 0x00040000 

 

This tool must be run from within an SDK directory, 

or using the --sdk_directory=<dir> switch. 

 

My question is how to set –sdk_directory and where the sdk directory locate? 

 

Besides, can anybody please to attach a srec_cat software to me? My email is yfggsitp@gmail.com. 

 

Thank you very much.

srec_cat is part of srecord (http://srecord.sourceforge.net/) (on Sourceforge). 

 

A .flash file is (for the most part) an SREC. In fact, the Nios II flash programmer can program SRECs directly, provided the address offsets are from the base address of the device you're programming to. 

 

Cheers,

There's a (nios2-)srec2flash that's included as part of the installation.. but I found running it in the nios Bash shell doesn't work
