CF interface

When I force safe board configuration on 1C20 dev board - can I expect the default software package in this board to use CF for any purpose? How can I see CF interface activity, not using uCLinux?

the "force safe" configuration, from altera, does not exercise compact flash. various versions of this design had the interface defined, but none have used it.

note: what i say may not apply to uclinux; i don't know if they use cf or not.

What versions of this design have the interface defined? In example Quartus project ("full-featured") I do not see anything going to the proto1_IOxx pins of FPGA, normally connected to Proto1 board and CF interface.

I hoped I could see some example app using CF interface on nios II running Micrium OS... Is there anything like that somewhere?

Why CF 128M card with a sticker indicating 1C20 board and a version number 1.0 is included in the kit if the kit is not exercising it at all? Where this particular CF is used ? Am I missing something here ?
