Read-Only Zip File System

This simple example demonstrates the use of Altera's read-only zip filing system and GNU debugger (GDB) host filing system. The example includes a zip filing system (.zip file) containing three text files. The filing system is first programmed into the hardware design's common flash interface (CFI) compliant flash using the Nios® II flash programmer. When you run the software, it opens two of the text files in the filing system, then prints them to STDOUT.

Using This Design Example

Download this example from the Nios Wiki Example section.  Follow the instruction in the readme.txt file to run the example.

Hardware Requirements

This example requires the following devices to be present in the target hardware design:
