Hi,
I am trying to load ucLinux on DE2. I compiled the kernel without ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL and networking support.
But i could not find the option to set Link address offset for booting as specified in post.

I used Nios-II IDE to compile the kernel. I thought it would create problems only while booting the Kernel so proceeded with compilation. Kernel compiled succesfully. It created two files. vmlinux and vmlinux.bin. I thought vmlinux.bin is compressed version of vmlinux. vmlinux is 8.4MB and vmlinux.bin is 1MB.
I used following command to download linux:
nios2_download -g vmlinux.bin and i get following error:
./vmlinux.bin File format not recognized. I tried using gzip on vmlinux and uploading vmlinux.gz there also i get the same error.
One more problem is I am not sure if the kernel is being downloaded to flash or sdram. How can I specify that kernel should be loaded to sdram? should i do it in SOPC builder?
