binary of buildroot tools

I prepared the tools and includes from buildroot. You can use it to compile kernel and apps.

You don't have to download and build buildroot. (but you should try it later, when you got more experiences)

These are the binary tools and rootfs.

http://hungryhippo.myweb.hinet.net/nios2gcc.tar.bz2 (http://hungryhippo.myweb.hinet.net/nios2gcc.tar.bz2)

http://hungryhippo.myweb.hinet.net/nios2rootfs.tar.bz2 (http://hungryhippo.myweb.hinet.net/nios2rootfs.tar.bz2)

or find them on Jhdar's site, (thanks a lot to his help)

http://via.fps-tech.org/snapshots/nios2/ (http://via.fps-tech.org/snapshots/nios2/)

su - # your root passwd

tar jxf nios2gcc.tar.bz2 -C /

exit

cd ~

tar jxf nios2rootfs.tar.bz2

The cross gcc tools will be in /opt/nios dir.

The rootfs with busybox will be in ~/rootfs and ~/download/rootfs_list .

Then setup the PATH for the cross gcc,

PATH=$PATH:/opt/nios2/bin

Try out,

nios2-linux-uclibc-gcc -v

Then try build kernel and apps as in the buildroot guide.

    That&#39;s a good work, I&#39;ll try it out after I finish the buildroot.

    It may be blocked in your country.

    I will try to find others.

    Do you have a ftp site which I can upload? Send it to me with PM.
