V1.4 with NiosII 5.1

hello,

i'm a newbie to nios ii and uclinux.

i've downloaded and installed the microtronix nios ii linux distribution v1.4. i'm going through the linux quick start guide.

problem is that it works for nios ii ide 5.0 and i have nios ii ide 5.1.

i'm to the point where i can upload the kernel (vmlinux.flash to altera's 1s40 board. i used the command-line workaround to get past the 'upload' menu item being broken.

however, when i try to upload the filesystem, i get this:

[sopc builder]$ nios2-flash-programmer.exe --base=0x200000 romfs.flash

using cable "usb-blaster [usb-0]", device 1, instance 0x00

resetting and pausing target processor: ok

base address not aligned on size of device

leaving target processor paused

at this point, i've looked and looked for workarounds, etc, but i'm stuck. i'm not sure what "base address not aligned on size of device" is complaining about.

btw, romfs.flash is generated by the 'upload' menu item. at least it generates the flash file before it chokes.

would someone offer a clue or two?

thanks,

tim
