mythri,

I load the De2 board with following commands.

1. Bin -> Flash

bin2flash --input=vmlinux.bin --output=vmlinux.flash --location=0x0

2. Erase Flash

nios2-flash-programmer --debug --erase=0x0+0x200000 --base=0x2000000

3. Load Linux

nios2-flash-programmer --base=0x2000000 --debug vmlinux.flash

The Reset Address needs to be specified in SOPC builder

The base Address depends on your settings in SOPC builder
