Hello 

 

I'm a newbe with nios. I have a devolement board, with a nios cyclone cpu.  

 

When I want to download uClinux for my board it write this: 

 

[SOPC Builder]$ nr linux.srec 

 

nios-run: Ready to download linux.srec over COM1: at 115200 bps 

 

nios-run: Downloading.# 0300: FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF# ................ 

# .................# 0380: FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF# ................# ect. ect. ect. 

 

It just continue forever.  

 

I don't have any problem when I download uC/OS-II. 

 

What can be wrong?? 

 

Best regards

Jimmi, 

 

What version of the Linux Develper CD are you using and are you using the core that was supplied with it? 

 

What type of Dev Board do you have? 

 

Can you post the first few lines of your SREC?

Hello  

 

I have a Nios Development Kit, Cyclone Edition. And I don't use the Linux Develper CD from microtronix.  

 

Here is the first lines of the SREC file:

I can't not even convert the srec file to a flash file. It look like this when i try: 

 

[sopc builder]$ srec2flash linux.srec 

 

 

flash address: 0x00140000 

ram address: 0x00040000 

max copy size: 0x00040000 

 

 

file 0: linux.srec 

linux.srec spans from 0x00800000 to 0x00881000 (0x00081000 bytes) 

building linux.srec.copier.srec 

c:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe (1444): *** wfso timed out after longjmp 

7 [main] perl 1756 fork_copy: user/cygwin data pass 3 failed, 0x22ecc0..0x 

230000, done 0, windows pid 1444, win32 error 5 

 

 

 

I hope someone can help, though I don't use uclinux from microtronix. 

 

Best regards
