Problem dloading vmlinux to 2C35

Hi hippo,

I've got the DE2_NET.sof on the board. After that,

I tried using nios2-download:

nios2-download -g vmlinux

and it shows

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>

--- Quote Start ---

Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-o]", device 1, instance 0x00

Pausing target processor: OK

Downloaded 2563KB in 32.2s

Verified OK

Starting processor at address 0x0000000[/b]

I assume it downloaded onto the board fine but the nios2-terminal I started doesn&#39;t show anything beyond this

connected to hardware target using JTAG UART on cable

How do I actually get to type in the uClinux commandline?

I also tried

nios2-elf-objcopy -O binary vmlinux vmlinux.bin
bin2flash --location=0x0 --input=vmlinux.bin --output=vmlinux.flash
nios2-flash-programmer --base=0x800000 vmlinux.flash

(I&#39;ve verified in the nios_system.h file that the cfi flash does indeed start at that address)

And it shows:

I&#39;m assuming this is happening because the vmlinux.bin is quite large ~2.5MB (cfi flash is only 1 MB) and I&#39;m not sure how to reduce that size by much (strip vmlinux only gets the vmlinux&#39;s original 8 MB down to about 7MB)

Would appreciate very much any direction you could give on this!

Thanks!
