Hello, This is based on the linux kernel itself, during compilation, it would be selected to support ext2, 3 and 4. preloader have nothing to do with the ext format. Since preloader could reach you to u-boot, it should be fine. Are you able to boot the board now? Thanks

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply. I am able to boot the board with the October 18, 2016 UP Linux image, not with the latest image, viz. the one which is available on the Intel FPGA UP website. Therefore, I regret I cannot make use of the newer features such as the Python GUI example, nor the C4DE and PyDE libraries. As you may see from my first post, U-Boot doesn't get any kernel image after having not recognized filesystem types, with an altera_load fail with error code -4 (I don't know what this means). Is there anything I could do to fix this?
