Differences between standard nios and nios2linux

Hi,

I want to know what differences exist between the standard design and the nios2linux design cause I got to build my own since the one provided by microtronix is not open source, hence we can't program it into flash.

    The sof files in microtronix release are time-limited for evalutaion only, ie, no valid nios2 license.

    You can use the ones in altera nios2 examples, but they do not support CF drives.

    Or you can use the ones in CF examples, they are nios2 v5.0.

    If you want to recomiple them, you need the nios2 licenses and regenerate in sopc builder.
