Building uCLinux with no CFI flash

If your system is completed to your liking (all your components are included).

Add a tristate bridge and CFI-Flash to your SOPCBuilder system en regenerate your PTF file.

It doens't matter that your board doesn't have CFI-Flash. Copy the PTF file to another directory were it's save and remove the cfi and tristate bridge.

Regenerate your PTF file and continue working with Quartus to make the SOF-file you need.

The PTF file you backed up containes the system your using plus a CFI-Flash. This PTF can be used for the hwselect script to compile your kernel. It doesn't matter that your system doesn't actually have a CFI 'cause the kernel only needs the info for some internal checking.

Make sure the "fake" CFI doesn't overlap with any of your other components!

If you made a change to your SOPCBuilder system you can always copy and paste the CFI component from your backed up PTF file to the new one to recompile your kernel.

I hope this clarifies what Hippo already said.
