Hi Marco, I'll work on getting you a patch that will let you do what you need. In the meantime, you can create your filesystem from the IDE but you will need to perform the build and the upload from the commandline:

To build your filesystem:

[SOPC Builder]$ cd $ECLIPSE_WORKSPACE/<project>

[SOPC Builder]$ genromfs -d -V "<project>" -f romfs.bin -v

[SOPC Builder]$ bin2flash --input=romfs.bin --base=<base address of flash> --output=romfs.flash --location=0x800000

To upload your filesystem:

[SOPC Builder]$ cd $ECLIPSE_WORKSPACE/<project>

[SOPC Builder]$ nios2-flash-programmer --input=romfs.flash --sof=<flash programming sof> --base=<base address of flash>

In the above steps, the <flash programming sof> file that I&#39;m referencing is:

...altera/kits/nios2/components/StratixII_Marco/system/StratixII_Marco.sof

or something like that.

The <base address of flash> can be found in the PTF file for the above SOF file.
