I have installed Quartus and nios2 9.1 sp2 on centOS5 to use uclinux. Now i am using the example of the Nios Community WIKY called TryOutuClinux on DE2 board. I have downloaded the sof and and the kernel image but i cannot run correctely the nios2-terminal. 

This is what happens in my shell: 

 

" [NiosII EDS]$ nios2-configure-sof 

Searching for SOF file:

/tmp/primo_es_ulinux 

[NiosII EDS]$ nios2-terminal 

nios2-terminal: connected to hardware target using JTAG UART on cable

I think the problem is becuse when i download the linux image in the terminal i have only: 

 

"Pausing target processor: OK 

Restarting target processor 

 

and after this the image is not really downloaded, but i don't know how to solve this problem

Sorry, i am solved the problem, the nios2-download doesn't search the image file in the folder as the command nios2-configure-sof so i need only insert the image name after the command. 

 

Now i can run the terminal. 

 

Sorry for this unseful thread.
