Help-load uclinux on FPGA

Question

Dear friends,

Recently I have a try for loading uclinux on FPGA. And I do it as Altera wiki-Install Nios II Linux.

And when I have install the gcc-4.2 and then make commands as list:

--tar xf <path_to>nios2-linux-20100621.tar

--cd nios2-linux

--cd uClinux-dist

--make menuconfig

I was stack in this step,the message is

"make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop."

Any one occured this problem before?Please give some advice.

Thank you a lot!

Do you do the checkout step?

I have try this step ,but it doesn't make effect.

Did you load .ptf file? You need to do something like

make vendor_hwselect SYSPTF=<path>/my_sopc.ptf

Try this even if the wiki says that this step must be done after. Often I had to type "make menuconfig" before and after "make vendor_hwselect"

are you sure that the hw_select shall be done?

If you follow latest branches (see http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31829), the device tree fashion should be followed. hw_select is the way that was used in the old nioswiki times.

hw_select doesn't work any more

you need to create header file with sopc2swheaders script and use it

The wiki is not updated, some times it is a mix of old and new.

your problem could be missing packages.
