Hey Andrew

uClinux works like a charm on the CycloneII development board although there's no direct support for it.

You should probably start with a simple uClinux project in the Nios2IDE and upload a kernel project and a filesystem project.

When configuring your kernel you should (or at least can...) select the Stratix board as your platform.

as for uboot... I'm running my board without and it works fine so I haven't researched that yet.
