You can also navigate directly to the
Altera website to determine if you have the latest kit software.
The Board Update Portal allows you to write new designs to the user hardware
portion of flash memory. Designs must be in the Nios II Flash Programmer File
(.flash) format.
Design files available from the
website include .flash files. You can also create .flash files from your own custom
design. Refer to
information about preparing your own design for upload.
To upload a design over the network into the user portion of flash memory on your
board, perform the following steps:
1. Perform the steps in
2. In the Hardware File Name field specify the .flash file that you either downloaded
3. Click Upload. The progress bar indicates the percent complete.
4. To configure the FPGA with the new design after the flash memory upload process
As long as you don’t overwrite the factory image in the flash memory device, you can
continue to use the Board Update Portal to write new designs to the user hardware
portion of flash memory. If you do overwrite the factory image, you can restore it by
