building problem - toolchain

In normal nios2nommu build, mkimage is not needed. You should use "make" once to build everything.

Only if you are using "trunk" branch of uClinux-dist, it will need mkimage. mkimage is available from u-boot, you can either install it or build it.

1. for ubuntu/debian, apt-get install uboot-mkimage

2. cd nios2-linux/toolchain-build

make u-boot

# then move the mkimage to your toolchain binary dir in your PATH.

Those steps worked fine but i still get the same error.

I want to try nios2 with MMU

without it worked fine and i build a lot of zImages but the MMU stuffs not working.

do i have to move the "mkimage" binary or just add the path to the PATH variable?

i tried adding it with PATH=$PATH:/home/xyz/nios2-linux/toolchain-build/u-boot/tools

The nios2 linux with MMU is under final testing and will be opened for the public soon. Please wait.

I don't want to update this message. But it seems to me that it is related to my issue. After i compiled the kernel, I got this message.

Image Name: Linux-3.7.0-01377-g1061bd7

Created: Mon Mar 25 15:41:30 2013

Image Type: NIOS II Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)

Data Size: 1445018 Bytes = 1411.15 kB = 1.38 MB

Load Address: c8000000

Entry Point: c8000000

Kernel: arch/nios2/boot/vmImage is ready

Configuring .sof files works smoothly but i could not download vmImage file:

rootF15: /path/nios2-download vmImage

nios2-elf-objcopy:./vmImage: File format not recognized

./vmImage.srec: Unable to open input file

rm: cannot remove `./vmImage.srec': No such file or directory

Have anybody encountered with this problem ? How to obtain zImage ?
