Does anybody know if there is a Linux version of "nios2-download"? If not, is anybody working on developing one? It seems a shame that I can escape Windows by using the build scipt (great job) and...

hi fmcmurra,

there is a linux version of the whole nios2 ide tools (eclipse plugin and command line tools, including nios2-download, nios2-terminal, flash programmer....).

you can freely download it from altera website, if you need anything that is not apparently downloadable from the site, you can always try altera's ftp (ftp://ftp.altera.com/outgoing/release). there is a lot of interesting things there.

note that to run nios2 ide for linux, you will need to install quartus for linux (web edition is enough, and can be downloaded from the ftp too). on linux, you have to install quartus (quartusii_51_linux.tar), and the devices support for fpgas you want (quartusii_51_unix_device_info.tar).

i think it is possible install nios2 ide without quartus, but you have to modifi one or two things in the install scripts.

hope it helps,
