uClinux w/ regards to .ptf and .sof files

I was just wondering, if there even exists, where I can find a full featured ptf and sof file for the cpu_0 - Class: altera_nios2 Type: f Version 6.0?

When I build the uClinux kernel image with NiosII_cycloneII_2c35_full_featured_sopc.ptf included in nios2eds 9.0 design suite it says the cpu class version is 7.08 and this does not seem to be compatiable with with my DE2 board.

I only have 8MB of SDRAM on my board where as when I beging to compile the uClinux image the NiosII_cycloneII_2c35_full_featured_sopc.ptf file with version 7.08 cpu says there is 32MB. So I am assuming I have an older version of the DE2 board.

However when I built the kernel image with DE2_NIOS_HOST_MOUSE_VGA.ptf (was system_0.ptf) in the project DE2_System_v1.6/DE2_demonstrations/DE2_NIOS_HOST_MOUSE_VGA of the DE2 v1.6 CD it said on screen there was 8MB od SDRAM which is correct to my board. After compiling with this pft file and using the coorsponding sof file I was able to run uClinux on my DE2 board with no issues. However I am looking for a full featured ptf and sof file.

So I was just wondering if there is full featured ptf and sof files for cpu version 6.0.

Thanks in advance for any help
