I am a relative newbie to Aletra's Nios II Ide and to Linux in general. Any ways I need to store the uClinux kernel and filesystem in EPCS flash. The tools I have am using currently are a Windows computer running Quartus II 5.1 and Nios II ide. Last week I downloaded uClinux from this forum and installed it onto the computer. Since then I have been able to run uClinux on a nios II development board using the CFI flash. The problem is the actual board I want to use uClinux on has only EPCS serial flash, which is why I was interested in using the patch from the EPCS Driver and Documentation thread.
When I try to run "patch -p0 <epcs_mtd.diff" after placing epcs_mtd.diff in C:\altera\kits\niosII5_1\bin\eclipse\plugins\com.microtronix.nios2linux.kernel_1.4.0\linux-2.6.x\drivers\mtd I get a prompted for several file names that appear to be missing. kconfig and makefile under ./mtd/maps/ and ./mtd/chips. Or atleast that is what I believe is a happening. I don't know if this is then related or not but when I do "make menuconfig" I recieve a message back "No rule to make menuconfig" Maybe I am trying to run this command in the wrong directory? I have been trying to run it out of the directory where I placed epcs_mtd.diff. Any help with my problems would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if more information is required. I believe that I am running uclinux kernel 2.6.11 but I am not positve. Thanks, John
