5.3.6.1. Small Boot Copier Features

The small boot copier example is a minimal program designed to use very little program memory. It performs only the following operations:

  1. Reads an application boot record from flash memory
  2. Copies it to RAM
  3. Jumps to the application's entry point

The small boot copier supports only one boot image, does not perform any error checking, and does not support printing messages to the JTAG UART. If you are interested in a more advanced boot copier, refer to the “Advanced Boot Copier Example” section.

Note: This example is designed to run on the Intel® Nios® II Ethernet Standard design example. For more information about the design example and supported Intel® development boards, refer to the Nios II Ethernet Standard Design Example located on the "Design Examples" web page on the Intel® FPGA website.
