28Create Nios® V/m processor example design system in FPGA
29========================================================
30
31Please use Intel Quartus Programmer tool to program Nios® V/m processor based system into the FPGA and execute application.
32
33In order to create the Nios® V/m processor inside the FPGA device, please download the generated .sof file onto the board with the following command.
34
35.. code-block:: console
36
37	quartus_pgm -c 1 -m JTAG -o "p;top.sof@1"
38
39.. code-block:: console
40
41	Note:
42	-c 1 is referring to JTAG cable number connected to the Host Computer.
43	@1 is referring to device index on the JTAG Chain and may differ for your board.
44	top.sof is referring to Nios® V/m processor based system SRAM Object File.
45
46Download Zephyr elf file and run application
47============================================
48
49To download the Zephyr Executable and Linkable Format .elf file, please use the niosv-download command within Nios V Command Shell environment.
50
51.. code-block:: console
52
53	niosv-download -g <elf file>
54
55Use the JTAG UART terminal to print the stdout and stderr of the Nios® V/m processor system.
