Hi,
I am testing my own custom board with EP1C12Q240, Flash=16bit*4M, Sdram=32bit*2M. My system has NiosII/f Core, uart, jtag-uart, sdram, flash, epcs_controller, timer and some PIOs. I use U-Boot to boot uClinux of Microtronix 1.4. When I run bootm command to boot uClinux, there display <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> --- Quote Start --- ==> bootm 0x50000 # # Booting image at 00050000 ...
