    Hi,

    I don't see why you not. You should be able to compile a jpeg compression application on the uCLinux. The only issue might be speed, don't expect the compression to be all that fast.

    Thanks! Only through HAL rather than uClinux, can I put the input file onto compact flash and read the ouput file from compact flash by PC ?

    Altera HAL doesn't have any FAT filesystem support (which is needed for CF access). The only file system it supports is "read-only uncompressed ZIP file in memory" (basically the PC excuse for a .tar file), which isn't even close to what you're asking for.
