What exactly is the problem you are having with u-boot?

And each time you have received a reply :-) But you never provided any feedback.

If all you want is to run uclinux when power is applied, you don't need u-boot.

1. start your terminal software.

If your using the jtag uart, run nios2-terminal. Otherwise, startup your terminal emulation

software (e.g. Hyperterminal).

2. make sure u-boot is working.

Run:

$ nios2-download -g u-boot

If you don't get the u-boot command prompt, then you didn't port u-boot correctly.

If you post the errors, someone might be able to help.
