eCos for NIOS 5.1

I have the same problem - did you ever figure out what went wrong?

I copied the directories over from

C:\altera\quartus51\sopc_builder\components

to

C:\altera\kits\nios2_51\components

and the compile makes it pass the timer but then breaks later because it can not find SYS_CLK_TIMER_FREQ which use to be in system.h.

I did not want to just add this# define in system.h - clearly something went wrong and these band-aid fixes are not the way to go.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

hi,

i have installed nios ii 5.1 and the new ecos for version 5.1.

when building the ecos library i get errors like

"altera_avalon_timer_regs.h: no such file or directory".

looking in the install directory ....\kits\nios2_51\components i recognized that there are much less subdirectories than in the older version. e.g. "altera_avalon_timer" is missing.

what went wrong? installation procedure gave no errors.

regards,

sepp

Hi, Sepp.

In 5.1 release, those directories have been moved to the Quartus SOPC Builder tree. You will find them under QUARTUS_ROOTDIR\sopc_builder\components.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

I had the same problem when I used a ecc previously generated with V5.0.

I solve it by editing the “Additional compiler flags” line of the driver which has the error, This tab is located in “eCos HAL” “HAL SOPC drivers” of the configtool.

I entered the default value proposed by eCos in the Properties window. The path for this include is now (QUARTUS_ROOTDIR)’/sopc_builder/ .

An other solution could be to regenerate the ecc file from scratch.

I found that any path that had nios in it had not been updated to nios2_51.

I went into the shell and typed the following:

> env | grep nios

Then I changed the paths that still had nios instead of nios2_51.

The best that I could figure out was that I had eCos for 5.0 installed and I did not uninstall it before I installed 5.1. A co-worker did not have eCos for 5.0 installed and he had no problems.

Did you ever get past the SYS_CLK_TIMER_FREQ error? I have added the additional compiler flags suggested and checked for references to &#39;nios&#39; and &#39;nios2&#39; in the paths (there were none). Where is SYS_CLK_TIMER_FREQ supposed to be defined?

Thanks
