Running Linux on Nios II without JTAG attached

Hello. 

Does anyone know how to run Linux on Nios II without a JTAG attached? 

Right now, the Linux kernel will not start until i've attached a JTAG cable and started a nios2-terminal, but I want it to be able to startup without a JTAG-cable so I can connect to it through telnet (the telnet part already works when the JTAG-terminal is started). 

 

Im running Linux on a NIOS II core on an Altera Cyclone board. 

 

Hope you can help me. 

 

Regards

Well once again it pays off to actually READ the manual supplied with Microtronix Linux. 

In the Reference Guide it says how to disable the JTAG UART during Kernel configuration to avoid the system to freeze when booting up without a JTAG cable and a nios2-terminal attached. Well RTFM!!! What more can I say ;-) 

 

Hope this entry can save others some time when developing.
