5.4.3.1. Boot Methods

  1. Nios® II application boot time for execute-in-place is faster than using a boot copy/run from RAM based boot (due to the time taken to copy the code to RAM being much longer than the time gained by the higher performance when running from RAM instead of ROM).
  2. The boot copier method is recommended for systems that require higher performance. Although this configuration takes longer to boot, it delivers higher application performance compared to an execute-in-place configuration.
