Problem when download to Board

Hello

I'm a newbe with nios. I have a devolement board, with a nios cyclone cpu.

When I want to download uClinux for my board it write this:

[SOPC Builder]$ nr linux.srec

nios-run: Ready to download linux.srec over COM1: at 115200 bps

nios-run: Downloading.# 0300: FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF# ................

# .................# 0380: FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF# ................# ect. ect. ect.

It just continue forever.

I don't have any problem when I download uC/OS-II.

What can be wrong??

Best regards

    Jimmi,

    What version of the Linux Develper CD are you using and are you using the core that was supplied with it?

    What type of Dev Board do you have?

    Can you post the first few lines of your SREC?

    Hello

    I have a Nios Development Kit, Cyclone Edition. And I don't use the Linux Develper CD from microtronix.

    Here is the first lines of the SREC file:

    S00D00006C696E75782E73726563E7

    S2198000000898007F0030E731038800304E696F73F031301C003E

    I can't not even convert the srec file to a flash file. It look like this when i try:

    [sopc builder]$ srec2flash linux.srec

    flash address: 0x00140000

    ram address: 0x00040000

    max copy size: 0x00040000

    file 0: linux.srec

    linux.srec spans from 0x00800000 to 0x00881000 (0x00081000 bytes)

    building linux.srec.copier.srec

    c:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe (1444): *** wfso timed out after longjmp

    7 [main] perl 1756 fork_copy: user/cygwin data pass 3 failed, 0x22ecc0..0x

    230000, done 0, windows pid 1444, win32 error 5

    I hope someone can help, though I don't use uclinux from microtronix.

    Best regards
