Does anyone know what a EPCS identifier is ? When I was erasing my EPCS device I got the following message: 

# !/bin/sh 

#  

# This file was automatically generated by the Nios II IDE Flash Programmer. 

#  

# It will be overwritten when the flash programmer options change. 

#  

 

cd E:/cycloneII_sopc_OK/memory_test/Debug 

 

# Creating .flash file for the FPGA configuration 

"$SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/bin/sof2flash" --epcs --input="E:/cycloneII_sopc_OK/cyclone.sof 

" --output="cyclone.flash"
