NIOS II issue with SBT while creating a HEX file

[MNass4]

I am creating a NIOS II system and want to boot it on a serial flash device and while making target to generate the hex file for the serial flash it creates only for the on-chip memory.hex. I don't know what is the problem with Eclipse or ALTERA.

Please help

Quartus creates a .sof file (for the Quartus Prime Programmer over JTAG) that you usually have to convert to .pof file to place in a flash for programming the device. Can you provide detail on the steps you've gone through and what you're trying to accomplish?

Hi,

1. If Reset vector & exception vector are pointing to on-chip ram you will see only on-chip memory.hex
2. mem_init_generate target also generates a Quartus Prime IP file (meminit.qip) which can be added to Quartus project and recompile to generate sof and convert to pof/jic. or You can use hex and sof file to generate the pof/jic file.

Hello,

you didn't get my question. I make the reset vector to spi flash and exception vector to onchip memory. while go to make target to create the hex file, the Eclipse built only for On-chip memory.

there is something missing in the .tcl

Thanks

Hi,

1. Are you using correct sopcinfo file while creating eclipse project??
2. Check in BSP editor  linker script if all linkers are pointing to correct memory ON-chip memory or SPI?

Share the design.
