help linux on neek.

Hi

I always want to finish the tutoriel ExtremGuide To kill neek

I see there is something new on the linux-2.6.git in arch/nios2 : a board folder for neek.

Furthermore, the page http://www.nioswiki.com/linux/creating_a_nios_ii_design_with_an_mmu has been updated. So i suppose that now the uClinux-dist can directly be compiled for neek.

So I tried :

First update my linux-2.6.git and uClinux-dist.git by doing

git clone -n git://sopc.et.ntust.edu.tw/git/linux-2.6.git

cd linux-2.6

git checkout -b my_nios2mmu origin/nios2mmu

and the same for uClinux-dist

Then after setting up the correct PATH env variable to the toolchain :

make menuconfig

Select Altera and nios2

Then Kernel config

Then Nios2 Configuration

Then Nios2 Board Configuration

Then select Neek

and whatever i choose for FPGA configuration, when i make it crashs

Is is already stable this new method ?

Then after the Extrem Guide to kill neek page should be updated for the 6th step in order to set up the MTD and the jffs2

    Updated to v2.6.34. Please try out the prebuild images first.

    Then use the attached config files to build uClinux-dist.

    What do you mean crach?
