1 flash programming question :)

Altera_Forum · ‎06-15-2005

i use altera cyclone board,the flash's capacity is 8M¡£my uclinux kernel is about 2099k, filesystem is about 1987k.

while i download the kernel, filesystem is covered.

error:Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(31,0)

download the filesystem,kernel is covered.

sometimes the safe configuration is covered too(red led is on).

the flash still worked well,but yesterday the problem happened.

please tell me how to solve it,thank u!!!!

If you can remove something you don't really need in kernel, and make the kernel smaller than 2M, that will be the best. If you can not reduce the size of kernel to less than 2M, I would recommend u-boot, which allows you to compress the kernel to less than 1M.
