Sooner or later, you will need a Linux box. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Anyways, regarding my original question about uploading the file system, can someone offer a clue why I&#39;m getting that error message?

Thanks,

T

Have you updated to NiosII 5.1 sp1? They fixed several issues with the flash programmer.

Yes, I&#39;ve installed SP1 for Nios II IDE 5.1.

No joy.

I&#39;m gonna query the guys at Altera and see what I can dig up....

Timothy,

I don&#39;t think that the 1.4 version, distributed by Microtronix, supports v5.1 of QuartusII/NiosII at all. It was only designed to work with 5.0...from what I can gather.

That being said, you are pretty close to having something that you can use. All you should have to do is set the base to 0x0 in your flash command. The base address, in 5.1 and greater, should _always_ point to the base of your flash device in SOPC Builder. Any offsets are handled within the .flash file format, itself. It&#39;s an S-Record, by the way, so if you have any SREC formatting tools, you should be able to "muck" it into shape, yourself.

As an aside, you really should get yourself a Linux box and/or dual boot your current PC. Developing Linux/uCLinux on a Windows box is a shame....at best!
