    Hi half,

    > does anybody port U-BOOT for the NIOSII?

    Yes, the official sources can be found at:

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot (http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot)

    The sourceforge sources contain the 'complete' u-boot tree which includes

    the code for all of the supported architectures.

    You can also obtain a stripped-down source tree for Nios-II only at:

    http://www.psyent.com/download (http://www.psyent.com/download)

    The sources at the psyent site includes some modifications so u-boot

    will build without problems using the Nios-II tools under cygwin. Also,

    since patches to the official u-boot source tree often take as long as

    several months to be added, the psyent site is usually more up-to-date.

    You can simply make some modifications to the include/PK1C20.h file to

    support the 1s20 board. If you have any problems, just post them here

    as there are several developers that can probably help you.

    Regards & Good Luck,
