Hello,

i am also new to this hole Nios2 uClinux-Thing. I followed the instructions in his video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxlyezof0rs) and was able to run uClinux. But i had to do a lot of things different.

But if you say, you have the .sof running you have to:

1. start a terminal (like PuTTY) to interact via RS232

2. load the zImage with "nios2-download -g <path>zImage" in the Nios II Command Shell

3. type in "nios2-termianl" to start
