Newbie starting with UP3 board ! uClinux-nios2-UP3

Hello, After some hours googling and searching, also this forum (lots of posts) I have decided to post this: I have a UP3 devkit platform and my goal is to be able to run uClinux in it...

So far I have been able to run nios II on UP3 and start NIOS II IDE 5.1 to program some C Code and llok at it through NIOS II IDE console.

In order to play with HAL (i dunno what that is or neither download, my guess.. OS) i need to have Quartus running because *.sof file on Quartus has some limitations (Web license).

So, could you introduce me into HAL, but what i would be interested is on how to run uClinux on Nios II or maybe Nios. I have read Kadionik's webpage about uClinux port to Nios effort http://www.enseirb.fr/~kadionik/embedded/u...os-uclinux.html (http://www.enseirb.fr/~kadionik/embedded/uclinux/nios-uclinux.html) but as you said i might experience some trouble lacking RAM. But how could i do it ? I have been able to generate a uClinux image for other devices, but how would i run uClinux binaries on Nios II Core ?

Regards,..
