Possible to program .elf through active serial?

I've been having a problem with my JTAG connector and the FLASH programmer, but today I finally got my Cyclone dev board into a user state by programming the .pof file to my EPCS4 in active serial mode hooked up to J28. Is it possible to also program the .elf file into me EPCS through AS mode? I have already specified a reset address of the epcs in SPOC builder and an exception address of external RAM. Thanks!

If you have a file for the configuration and another for the application you should be able to combine the two into a single programming file to send over active serial. I've never done this personally though. I think you use the Quartus II and Nios II command line tools to do this (see literature up on www.altera.com for the commands to do this).
