buildroot on Gentoo Linux

Thanks for the reply, hippo.

I tried downloading/running the zImage you posted, and it worked...a great start.

I figured the next step would be to try and compile a kernel and apps using the tools you had pre-built.

I ran into some problems.

I followed the instructions as found on http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3879 (http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3879).

I'm using the std_1s10.ptf.

I got through the "hwselect" and "menuconfig" steps fine. But the zImage build failed, like this:

arch/nios2nommu/boot/compressed/head.S: Assembler messages:

make: ***  Error 1
make: ***  Error 2

I also noticed that the following Makefiles had 3 times the same content in them (i.e. 3 exact copy/paste copies of the same Make rules within the same file):

arch/nios2nommu/boot/Makefile
arch/nios2nommu/boot/compressed/Makefile

This was leading to a number of Makefile warnings, saying that some rules were being ignored due to other rules being present, or some such.

In any case, I edited those files to remove the duplicates. Then I re-ran the build steps as follows:

clean

hwselect

menuconfig

zImage

I still get the same errors I quoted above.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
