the exisiting installation of ecos for nios ii 5.0 will not work properly with nios ii 5.1. look for a new ecos installation to be made available soon after 5.1 is released.

After poking around for a bit I have not been able to find a date for Nios II 5.1 release. Can you give me the latest information on the expected release date for Nios II 5.1 and the eCos support for it?

Nios II 5.1 was released several weeks ago (along with Quartus II 5.1 and other Altera IP cores). Customers with a current subscription typically receive their software updates a few weeks after the release (which to me would mean anytime now). You can also download Nios II 5.1 evaluation edition (no MicroC/OS-II RTOS) from the Altera website.

As for eCos, we are working on internal testing to be sure everything is okay with Nios II 5.1; several small changes were made along with bug fixes from the Nios forum. Once some basic regression testing is done we will post it to the forum. I would like to say within the comnig week, but we&#39;ll see how the testing goes!

If you have an urgent need for eCos for 5.1, please contact me personally and we can discuss!

Will you be putting the CVS repository online so we can track the changes more easily ?

Or better still, contributing the nios target changes to the main ecos repo.

Robert.

I can&#39;t discuss things going on between Altera & third parties -- but we will definitely take this feedback into consideration!
