Hi, 

 

I am tring to boot uclinux's compressed image (vmlinux.bin.gz) using u-boot. u-boot gives me following messages and stops. 

 

==>oadb 0x01800000 vmlinux.img# # Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x01800000 at 115200 bps...# # Total Size = 0x000c19de = 793054 Bytes# # Start Addr = 0x01800000 

==> bootm 0x01800000# # Booting image at 01800000 ... 

Image Name: Test 

Image Type: Nios-II Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 

Data Size: 792990 Bytes = 774.4 kB 

Load Address: 01000000 

Entry Point: 01000000 

Verifying Checksum ... OK 

Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK 

 

I am using a Nios Development board (EP1S10), microtronix linux 1.4.0 on windows platform and u-boot 1.1.3 

 

thanks in advance...

Hi slsnios, 

 

> u-boot gives me following messages and stops. 

 

Check your console setting -- your may have selected the JTAG uart (CONFIG_SERIAL_AJUART) 

)rather than the serial UART (CONFIG_NIOS_SERIAL_CONSOLE) in your kernel configuration: 

 

---> Device Drivers 

------> Character devices 

---------> Serial drivers 

------------> Nios serial support (NIOS_SERIAL [=y] 

---------------[*] Support for console on Nios UART 

 

Regards,
