20 years agohi scott,
It didn't work properly......here are the steps after I download the u-boot on EP1S40 board using "nios2-download" under XP. after I reboot & start my debian linux...with "kermit -c" ....I followed ur instuction.....& here what I got. DK1S40 > tftpboot 1100000 uImage Using MAC Address 00:07:FFFFFFED:0C:04:FFFFFFBD TFTP from server 10.0.0.1; our IP address is 10.0.0.51 Filename 'uImage'. Load address: 0x1100000 Loading:# ################################################################ # ################################################################ # ######### done Bytes transferred = 715524 (aeb04 hex) DK1S40 > imi 1100000 # # Checking Image at 01100000 ...

OK Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK I am not sure if it's something to do with mkimage utility ........because....if I download the linux kernel alone....using "nios2-download -g vmlinux"....it display the booting process on hyperterminal.....Any idea.....what's wrong???? BTW, here is the command that I used to create uImage. ./tools/mkimage -A nios2 -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0x01000000 -e 0x01000000 -n "Linux Kernel Image" -d linux.bin.gz uImage Thanks,
