I have installed Quartus and nios2 9.1 sp2 on centOS5 to use uclinux. Now i am using the example of the Nios Community WIKY called TryOutuClinux on DE2 board. I have downloaded the sof and and the kernel image but i cannot run correctely the nios2-terminal.

This is what happens in my shell:

" [NiosII EDS]$ nios2-configure-sof

Searching for SOF file:

    I think the problem is becuse when i download the linux image in the terminal i have only:

    "Pausing target processor: OK

    Restarting target processor

    "

    and after this the image is not really downloaded, but i don't know how to solve this problem

    Sorry, i am solved the problem, the nios2-download doesn't search the image file in the folder as the command nios2-configure-sof so i need only insert the image name after the command.

    Now i can run the terminal.

    Sorry for this unseful thread.
