i'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!

The flash is needed for the root file system with romfs, if you use the Microtronix&#39;s kit.

You must find other root file system, since you don&#39;t have flash.

You may follow the nios wiki to use initramfs for root fs. It might save a lot of troubles.
