    Hi,

    I am trying to boot with uClinux and tried the following http://nioswiki.com/linux/linux_quick_start, but as you see I encountered a problem.

    ~/nios2-linux/uClinux-dist

    [NiosII EDS]$ nios2-configure-sof /home/user/Altera/kits/cycloneIII_3c25_niosII/examples/standard_cd/cycloneIII_3c25_niosII_standard.sof
