16 years agoI started compiling it (./create-NO_MMU_DEV) and it took ~40 minutes. Does this occur at your PC too?
I programmed the (time limited) SOF File to the Board. That works, on the two Displays I can read "Wind River Linux for NIOS II" and "ID: 0x2EA82CDC ...". To check the Ethernet, I used simple socket server plus (http://www.nioswiki.com/exampledesigns/simplesocketserverplus), which is also working now. My question for you is: In one of your previous posts you said that it is possible to use the NIOS as an Ethernet driver. Does that mean that I can use this Simple Socket Server Plus for NIOS in my FPGA-Design? The FPGA itself should also do some other work like reading from the ADC and writing and reading from/to the DDR2-SDRAM.
