Generic Nios II Booting Methods User Guide

This user guide from Altera, now part of Intel, provides comprehensive information on the booting methods for the Nios II processor. It details how Nios II embedded programs, developed using the Altera Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and Software Build Tools (SBT), are initialized and executed from various boot memory types.

Key Topics Covered:

The Nios II processor boot copier functionality and its role in system startup.
Different Nios II processor booting options and their general flow.
Programming solutions tailored for selected boot memory types.
Prerequisites and recommended resources for users.

The document explores boot memory options including Compact Flash Interface (CFI) flash, User Flash Memory (UFM), Altera Serial Flash (EPCS/EPCQ), and on-chip RAM (OCRAM), explaining how the HAL-based systems manage reset vectors and program sections.
