I have an Altera Cyclone Eval Brd with 16 MB cfi flash and 32 MB DDR RAM. I successfully made a zImage and uploaded it to the DDR RAM with the command: nios2-download -g zImage This is working...

Thank you hippo,

this works.

I thought that I can decompress the zImage directly into RAM without an additional bootloader.

After I posted my question I found out that you described how to program the zImage into flash in your buildroot guide, which is an excellent document.
