Hello,

The pre-loader and bare metal image need to be programmed onto the SD card seperately.

There's a description of how to make bootable images and where to progran them in the "Altera SoC embedded design suite user guide". You can find this document here: www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_soc_eds.pdf.

Read chapter 8 of this guide, particularly the paragraph titled "Loading Next Image from FAT partition on SD Card".

I hope this helps
