Title: Image sizes
Post by: MFRAN on March 07, 2019, 08:05:15 AM
Hi,

I am quite new to the CYC1000 and Cyclone 10LP and am wondering how large programs the flash can hold.
As I understand the boot process, the flash holds both the fpga image and the software for NIOS II.
Can anyone provide a rough estimate of the possible size of a NIOS sw that can be stored?

The CYC1000 and Cyclone 10LP platform is an interesting choice for projects that combine an FPGA design with Nios II software. Since the flash memory may need to store both the FPGA configuration image and the embedded software,, (https://cesoir-programmetv.com/programme-tv/en-ce-moment/) the available space for the Nios II application depends on the specific flash capacity and the size of the FPGA image. For anyone planning a project around this hardware, understanding how much room remains for software is an important part of designing a reliable embedded system.
