2.3.1. Generating and Downloading the Linking Format .elf Programming File

This task shows how to generate and build a Nios V processor software project. For a streamlined flow, ensure you create the same directory tree in your design project as in this task.
  1. In your design project folder, create a directory called software.
  2. In the software directory, create two directories called app and bsp.
  3. Copy all files in <design_example_dir>/synthesis/ed_fw to <design_example_dir>/synthesis/quartus/software/app.
    The design files are: 
    c2_reconfig.h
c3_funtion.c
c3_recongifg.c
c3_reconfig.h
flow.c
flow.h
main.c
  4. Generate the BSP:
    1. Launch the Nios V Command Shell
    2. Go to <design_example_dir>/synthesis/quartus/software directory.
    3. Run the following command. 
      niosv-bsp -c --quartus-project=../ecpri_ed.qpf --
qsys=../../ip_components/nios_system.qsys --type=hal ./bsp/settings.bsp
  5. Generate the application project: 
    niosv-app --bsp-dir=./bsp --app-dir=./app --srcs=./app/ --elf-name=nios_system.elf
  6. Build the application project: 
    cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -S ./app -B ./app/build make -C ./app/build
    The nios_system.elf file is generated in the <design_example_dir>/synthesis/quartus/software/app/build directory.
  7. Program the Nios V processor:
    1. Go to <design_example_dir>/synthesis/quartus/software/app/build
    2. Type the following command in the Nios V Command Shell.
      • For Stratix 10 devices:
        niosv-download -g -r nios_system.elf -c 1 -d 1 -i 0
      • For Agilex 7 devices: 
        niosv-download -g -r nios_system.elf -c 1 -d 0 -i 0
