Programming Flash in Altera Embedded Systems
Many Nios II processor systems use external flash memory to store one or more of the following items:
• Program code
• Program data
• FPGA configuration data
• File systems
The Nios II SBT for Eclipse provides flash programmer utilities to help you manage and program the
contents of flash memory. The flash programmer allows you to program any combination of software,
hardware, and binary data into flash memory in one operation.
Starting the Flash Programmer
You start the flash programmer by clicking Flash Programmer in the Nios II menu.
