How to download code to ARM processor from the command line

Hi, 

As far as I understand the flow: 

1. Create the qsys system 

2. Create the bsp. 

3. Import the bsp into DS-5 and download to the ARM on the cyclone 5. 

 

The problem is that only the subscription edition of DS-5 has the option to download code to the ARM core and I am trying to use the community edition (the sockit is for hobby use so I don't want to fork out a lot of money for software). 

 

So how can I get the code running on the board from the USB Blaster II. There must be a command line program to do something like this right or are we all required to get the subscription edition of DS-5 to use these devices? 

 

Regards, 

Scott

The system console has this ability for nios based designs. I don't know if this also works for HPS.

You can download your code also via command line by using tools from the Quartus Software. Some Information you can find here: http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/documentation/gsrdqspiprogram
