Hi, there is a bug that leaves out an attribute in one of the tags in the <project>.stf file when you apply changes in the project property page.

To remedy this, you can open up the <project>.stf file in an editor and add 

offset=&#39;0x0&#39;

to the location_on_target tag.

So your tag should look like this: 

<location_on_target offset=&#39;0x0&#39;>

Save these changes and you should be able to upload the kernel image without a problem.

(note: the same problem will occur when applying changes in a filesystem project&#39;s property page; for a filesystem project, the offset should be 0x200000)

This bug will be corrected in the next release of the Nios II Linux Distribution.
