Once you have the necessary .flash files, you can use the Board Update Portal to
reprogram the flash memory. Refer to
Designs” on page 5–2
If you have generated a .sof that operates without a software design file, you can still
use the Board Update Portal to upload your design. In this case, leave the Software
File Name field blank.
The Nios II EDS offers a nios2-flash-programmer utility to program the flash memory
directly. To program the .flash files or any compatible S-Record File (.srec) to the
board using nios2-flash-programmer, perform the following steps:
1. Set the DIP switch FAC_LOAD (SW4.3) to the factory off (1) position (factory
2. Attach the USB-Blaster cable and power up the board.
3. If the board has powered up and the LCD displays either Connecting... or a valid IP
