A.4. Converting Additional Files
If your design uses additional files such as image data or files used by the runtime
program, you must first convert the files to
concatenate them into one
them.
After your design files are in the

A.5. Programming Flash Memory Using the Nios II EDS
The Nios II EDS offers a nios2-flash-programmer utility to program the flash
memory directly. To program the
board using nios2-flash-programmer, do the following:
1. Set the SW4.3 DIP switch to the FACT ON (logic 0) to load the Board Update Portal
design from flash memory on power up.
2. Attach the Intel FPGA Download Cable and power up the board.
3. If the board has powered up and the LCD displays either Connecting...or a valid IP
address (such as 152.198.231.75), proceed to step 8. If no output appears on the
LCD or if the Config Done LED (D7) does not illuminate, continue to step 4 to load
the FPGA with a flash-writing design.
4. Run the Intel Quartus Prime Programmer to configure the FPGA with a
capable of flash programming. Refer to Restoring the MAX V CPLD to the Factory
Settings for more information.
5. Click Add File and select
\cycloneVGT_5cgtfd9ef35_fpga\factory_recovery
\c5gt_fpga_bup.sof
6. Turn on the Program/Configure option for the added file.
7. Click Start to download the selected configuration file to the FPGA. Configuration
is complete when the progress bar reaches 100%. The Config Done LED (D7)
illuminates indicating that the flash device is ready for programming.
8. In the Nios II command shell, navigate to the
\cycloneVGT_5cgtfd9ef35_fpga\factory_recovery
You can also navigate to the directory of the
Flash Files Using the Nios II EDS.
9. Type the following Nios II EDS command:
