<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> --- Quote Start --- Since the kernel copies itself to the proper location, you can store it at an arbitrary address. You may want to just stuff the kernel binary in flash and have your loader jump into flash without any copying at all.[/b] --- Quote End --- A really good idea. But in my case that's a no go. I have a 2MB flash and here I have to have space for my safe img and user img. I still need to fit the code that should run on the linux into the flash also. I have tried looking at the u-boot that you ported to NIOS. From what I see it supports decompression from a zipped file and really all I need. But as I am new to this and since the "do_bootm_linux" function has not been completed I have a hard time seeing how I can use u-boot. I will try continuing with my little project. All your responces has always given me a little kick futher so thank you very much. Just keep kicking me http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif if you have some more pointers for me. Regards GreateWhite.DK
