uboot + uclinux + nios2

[Altera_Forum]

I compiled uboot as well as uclinux for stratix board DK1S40 using standard hardware design for nios2 that comes with web addition software from altera. 

 when I tried to create an uImage ...running this command.  ./mkimage -A nios2 -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0x01000000 -e 0x01000000 "uclinux kernel Image" -d linux.bin.gz uImage  I got an error message........  Invalid CPU Type - valid names are: alpha, arm, x86, ia64, m68k, microblaze, mips, mips64, ppc, s390, sh, sparc, sparc64 Usage: ./mkimage -l image  -l ==> list image header information  ./mkimage [-x] -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep -n name -d data_file[:data_file...] image  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'  -T ==> set image type to 'type'  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)  -n ==> set image name to 'name'  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'  -x ==> set XIP (execute in place)   when I looked at the mkimage source code file....I found the nios2 stuff is missing.......   I would really appreciate if someone help me to resolve this issue.   Is anyone knows ......what needs to be done in order to create an uImage for nios2 platform.

Hi haq,
