i&#39;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&#39;t have a flash in our board, the result is that i cann&#39;t go on with it.

is flash absolutely necessarily?if not, what should i do?

i&#39;m a newer in nios,can anybody give me advice?thanks in advance!

Thank u for your reply!

When i build the project, it says that it needs a flash to upload the kernel to, if there isn&#39;t any flash, the NIOS II IDE wann&#39;t let you go on.

So could you please tell me how could i download the system to sdram indirectily in detail?
