hi,

i am wondering if it is possible to implement a µclinux in a stratix gx development board?

in fact, i have a stratix gx development board in order to develop high speed applications.

don&#39;t worry, the nios will not be used for high speed applications!

let me know your thoughts about that.

thanks a lot.

Yes, you can run uClinux if you have ddr/sdram.

You should start with a mininal system with only nios2 cpu core,sdram,full featured timer,jtag/serial console and a cfi flash, (cfi flash can be dummy and removed later).

Note, the interrupt vector (ie, exception vector) should be in uClinux program memory, ie sdram.

On my board, I have one Stratix and one Stratix GX.

The Stratix GX is connected to a DDR SDRAM but not to a flash.

The Stratix is connected to 8Mb flash.

Both are connected together with a bridge.

Do you think is it possible?

Thanks.
