nios2 --sync doesn't seem to work

[bdelgado1995]

When I try to use --sync on the nios2 machine, it doesn't pick up the contents of the directory.
Syntax: arm_now start nios2 --offline --sync

However, when switching the machine to mips32el, the --sync does work.
Syntax: arm_now start mips32el --offline --sync

Thanks for any tips!

Hi,

Yes you are right.
I didn't finish to implement the support of the filesystem used by nios.
You could implement it it's fairly easy I think, It would take you one day or one afternoon.
It's all here: https://github.com/nongiach/arm_now/blob/master/arm_now/filesystem.py
You will see that classes for cpio and tar are already there you just need to implement the methods.
It's just about performing few tar command from python, have fun bro.
