re-assemble bootloader for NIOS Processor

Started by Dolphin April 3, 2007
Hello,

I want to recompile the bootloader for the Nios processor. The reason
that I want to do this is:
- I use an EPCS flash
- by default Nios code is situated directly after the FPGA bitstream
- I want the Nios code to be in a different sector as the FPGA
bitstream

I guess that I will have to change boot_loader_epcs_bits.S for that.
My first problem is to assemble these files. Has anybody done this
before. How should I do use the MakeFile?

thanks and best regards,
Karel

I did just that to verify the object files I was linking in were correct. And they were. I created a separate directory with the loader source. I used the make file that is located in the Altera boot loader directory. gm
Hello,

I have no experience with make files. Can you tell me which software I
have to use and how to run the make file?

thanks and best regards,
