building problem - toolchain

Your kernel directory 'linux-2.6.x' lacks a vmImage file: /home/z125188/nios2-linux/uClinux-dist/linux-2.6.x/arch/nios2/boot/vmImage This usually means your toolchain lacks u-boot tools...

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.
