Hi,

I was thinking of my problem with u-boot/µClinux, and suddenly I got this view: normally to get µClinux working we got to program the nios2linux design in the FPGA firstly.

So considering my situation: I programmed the standard design in the user zone of flash so to get it launched every time with no intervention and I programmed the u-boot in offset 0 of the flash. This way I&#39;ve got u-boot lauched automatically. But if I&#39;m using the last to launch µClinux, don&#39;t I need that sof of nios2linux ! Obviously yes, but I don&#39;t want to use quartus programmer, and I can&#39;t convert the linux_time_lmited.sof to .flash to program it into flash for once, and even if I could, at which offset will I do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I&#39;m really confuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuused http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif
