This is why I always like to review the scripts/makefiles ;-) Time to go back to the basics ... 1. Please post an objdump of the elf headers. E.g.: $ nios2-elf-objdump -h vmlinux 2. Confirm that the elf image can be loaded and successfully run using nios2-download. 3. Use the elf image to create a binary (nios2-elf-objcopy -O binary). Load the binary (via nios2-console) to the load address, set the pc to the load address, then resume execution -- confirm operation. 4. Make the u-boot image with the binary (uncompressed) -- confirm operation. 5. Compress the binary, and make the u-boot image (compressed) -- confirm operation. Regards, --Scott
