Honored ContributorHi Scott,
I'm at home now but couldn't stop thinking about the problem (I know, laugh as loud as you like) so I couldn't help but reading the forums.... First of: Thanks for those links you provided I think that excatly adresses my problem. I'll try it as soon as possible. I'll come in early tomorrow to try it out http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif I'll try and leave the bootloader out of the flash file 'cause what I now had was probably data from EPCS that got unpacked to RAM where the "second" bootloader kicked in to unpack my kernel from EPCS to RAM.... combine that with a EXTRA_DELAY parameter and you've got my weird problem... @jakobjones: It's not a big deal if the boot-time is a bit higher (but not minute)... And you know how managers are: "Hey don't you think you can loose the onboard ROM? That would save us a lot of money!" So I have to work with a slow EPSC http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif Thanks all! Walter Goossens
