no, there's no ready-made core out there. however, i have been working with this board. you just need to use the nios sample project which is included, add a cfi flash using sopc builder (don't wire up the pins), and then build linux using the ptf file.

let me know if i can help.

I used the "standard" Nios core example that came with the DSP board and copied the flash programmer description to the Nios components directory (as the readme instructions suggested). When I open the SOPC builder however, EPCS serial flash controller is already added to the project. This serial flash uses U17 as its reference designator, and i can therefore not add CFI flash (which needs the same ref. des.).

Even if the CFI was able to be inserted, how would the kernel get booted to SDRAM from it without a pinout? Or is this to fake the IDE uClinux kernel project into thinking there is CFI so that you can boot it directly, via nios2-terminal?

**EDIT**

I found your post from July 19 about this same issue. I will try it that way and see if that solves these problems.
