hello,

I'm Hanako Altera, and I provide technical support for Altera® FPGA products at Macnica.

This time, I will introduce how to set the Nios® II boot program in the FPGA's on-chip memory.
There are two methods depending on the FPGA device series!

Use the built-in RAM as boot memory.

Target devices: Stratix®, Arria®, Cyclone®, MAX® 10

The operation flow is roughly like this.

Creating on-chip ROM for booting (can be omitted if shared with on-chip RAM for execution memory)
Specifying the boot memory for Nios® II
Convert boot program to HEX file with Nios ® II SBT
Add qip file for initial value memory to Quartus ® Prime project, compile, SOF/POF generation

Please see the document below for details.

Use UFM as boot memory

Target device: MAX ® 10

To boot Nios ® II with MAX ® 10 UFM, we use a free IP called“Altera On-Chip Flash”.
The operation flow is roughly like this.

Add On-Chip Flash to the Qsys (now Platform Designer) system and specify it as boot memory for Nios® II.
Change Configuration Mode and Compile in Quartus ® Prime
Nios ® II SBT converts BSP Editor setting and generation, boot program to HEX file
Conversion of programming files, programming
