Honored ContributorHi hippo,
Thank you. But now, I want to implement booting uClinux under IDE, then I will try to do it under Linux. I will ask you question later. I retry booting without U-Boot, just follow Microtronix's Quick Guide, it is OK. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> --- Quote Start --- Linux version 2.6.11-uc0 (LiangYi@ciitec-liangyi) (gcc version 3.4.1 (Altera Nios II 5.0 b73))# 4 Tue Mar 7 16:04:58 2006 uClinux/Nios II Altera Nios II support © 2004 Microtronix Datacom Ltd.
