20 years agoLoading a Filesystem onto the uKit?
Greetings,
My apologies for what is probably a simple question, but I am new to uClinux and uKit development. I've been going through the "Microtronix Nios II Linux Distrubution Quick Start Guide" and I have successfully compiled a new kernel and uploaded to the uKit device. I've also created a filesystem and an application. I would now like to upload the filesystem and mount it in Linux. Unfortunately the procedure specified in the document (right-click on romfs.bin and select upload) is not working for the following reason: ------------------------------------------------ Microtronix Linux Extensions Version 1.4, Built June 20, 2005 ------------------------------------------------ Expected integer value for option 'base' Value was: '' Using default value: -1 Aug 5, 2005 2:13:56 PM - (SEVERE) nios2-flash-programmer: No flash base specifie d I had this problem before when uploading the kernel, but I was able to set up the HW configuration (under the Run -> run menu) and get it to work. I can't seem to do the same thing here. I've looked through the "Microtronix Nios II Linux Distribution Reference Guide", but I don't see how to upload the filesystem along with the kernel, or just how to upload the filesystem. In addition, I'm assuming I need to mount the filesystem following the upload, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that. For reference, I have the Microtronix uKit with 16 MB SDRAM. I'm really not trying to do anything specific at the moment, just upload and link a filesystem (located in the SDRAM) to the linux kernel that I've already generated. If anyone can help or point me to additional documentation, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
