I've searched Altera and this forum pretty extensivly and have not found the answer to this question. Is there a way to take the FPGA configuration info and the NIOSII software and create a pof file to configure an EPCS with the plain old Quartus Programmer. I do NOT want to use the Flash program for this particular application. I found a description at Altera that makes use of the elf2flash utility with the --after option. I am using Quartus and NIOS v5.0 and it does not seem that this option is supported. I could easily write a little program to combine the srec's of the config and software but I cannot see how to get back to a pof from there. Quartus convert programming files seems to require a sof. It doesn't let me just give it a single hex file I create with the nios2-elf-objcopy.
Why is this so difficult???Link Copied

Your choices are:
1. Upgrade your toolset... 5.0 is darned old and, if I remember correctly, doesn't support what you'd like to do. - NOTE: You'd have to write a custom bootloader using this methodology. 2. Use the Flash Programmer....not sure why you have an aversion to it in the first place.
