    Your sof file and your ptf file do not match. They should be from the same project

    Which Dev board are you using?

    make sure you follow http://www.nioswiki.com/operatingsystems/u...t/linuxhwselect (http://www.nioswiki.com/operatingsystems/uclinux/uclinuxdist/linuxhwselect) to select a device to execute kernel from

    From the www.nioswiki.com/operatingsystems/uclinux/uclinuxdist when you do the step

    # you must give the absolute path to ptf, no spaces allowed in the path.

    make vendor_hwselect sysptf=/path_to_your_hardware_project/your_system.ptf make sure you use your project ptf file then when you open a nios2 command shell

    1) step 1. Configure the FPGA,

    nios2-configure-sof your_project.sof

    2) nios2-download -g zImage

    3) nios2-terminal

    yeah I am using DE2 board . I followed the Hwselect step. then on on the command shell i followed these steps. Also i used a zImage(not of my project) from somewhere else and I downloaded it .There were no errors during verification but Yes it didnt run. Because the SOF version and zImage version did not match.

    well get the ptf from where you got the zImage and assign that in Hwselect, then get the sof from there too and download that before using the zImage
