Hi,

I tried to download the kernel-project and the hardware design with flashprogrammer, but it failed. Then I downloaded the hardware design file (.pof) with Quartus programmer and ByteblasterII to EPSC4-device and the kernel project with flashprogrammer to flash, it worked succesfully!

Now I don't have to download .sof-file each time when powering on the board.

But tell me, how I can get the rid of starting the uclinux with terminal console. I want that uclinux starts running immadiately when I turns the power on.
