Honored ContributorI'm now using the Microtronx nios2linux-1.4 to run linux on NIOS.
When i build the project, it says that it needs a flash to upload the kernel to, but we don't have a flash in our board, the result is that i cann't go on with it. Is flash absolutely necessarily?If not, what should i do? I'm a newer in nios,can anybody give me advice?Thanks in advance!

When i build the project, it says that it needs a flash to upload the kernel to, if there isn't any flash, the NIOS II IDE wann't let you go on. So could you please tell me how could i download the system to sdram indirectily in detail?
Honored ContributorSo if the IDE wants it, why don't you offere one?
Even it is not on your board, you can try to add one. Or just edit your PTF-File.Honored Contributoryou can use the command " nios2tdownload.exe -g vmlinux",the vmlinux can upload to sdram with jtag.then the linux will run in sdram, you can use command "nios2terminal" to login to your linux system
