NiosII for uClinux

Hi all, sorry if I write in wrong section. I have designed my own NiosII cpu for a StratixII Dev. Kit. (http://www.altera.com/literature/manual/mnl_nios2_board_stratixii_2s60.pdf (http://www.altera.com/literature/manual/mnl_nios2_board_stratixii_2s60.pdf))

Can uClinux (procedure taken from nioswiki) run in my configuration (http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7602/niosiiprocessor1.jpg) ? I've followed this (http://www.nioswiki.com/operatingsystems/uclinux/uclinuxdist) step by step, but it doesn't work. After the downloading of the kernel image in ram, nios2-terminal doesn't give me any output. Can someone help me ? :(

P.S. I've trayed also to keep only the jtag uart and remove the uart (I've only USB-Blaster at the moment) but the result didn't change.

    Did you test your hardware with a software project without using uClinux? If this works, check your kernel configuration.

    I suggest you, build the minimal uClinux version for the the hardware example full_featured (\altera\90\nios2eds\examples\vhdl\niosII_stratixII_2s60_RoHS\full_featured).

    Then test with your hardware.
