4.8.2. Boot from Flash Configuration
The reset address points to a bootloader in a flash memory. The bootloader initializes the instruction cache, copies each memory section to its virtual memory address (VMA), and then jumps to _start.
-
alt_load() not called
-
No code at reset in executable file
The default Tcl script chooses this configuration when the memory associated with the processor reset address is a flash memory and the .text section is mapped to a different memory (for example, SDRAM).
Intel provides example bootloaders for QSPI flash memory in the <Intel Quartus Prime software installation directory>/niosv/components/bootloader folder, precompiled to Motorola S-record Files (.srec). You can use the Intel-provided bootloader or provide your own.
