20 years agoHi hippo,
thanx for your reply but it seems nothing is working. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif ( I tried to compile according to the link you mentioned in your last msg but i cannot run Portmap. it says "Bad comman or filename" Can you please tell me what this portmap is? I tried the way you mentioned but still no success. I tried to mount using "busybox mount " but it gives an error that "mount:applet not found" stand alone "mount" doesnt compile. I am working on Altera stratix device. is it that on Altera devices this is not support. just asking a question as i dont know why its not working. Also when i look inthe "romfs/bin" directory then I can find busybox links to all the routines I enabled while running "make menuconfig" eg., busybox cat -> busybox hostname -> busybox inetd init kill -> busybox ls -> busybox mkdir -> busybox mount -> busybox mv -> busybox netstat -> busybox ping -> busybox rm -> busybox sh telnetd touch -> busybox umount -> busybox but when I download the kernel on the development board and i look into the "bin" directory I cant find all there.. just the ping and netstat I also tried changing the default vendor settings in ~/uClinux-dist-test/vendors/Altera/nios2nommu/config.vendor and enabled the CONFIG_USER_BUSYBOX_MOUNT, but still nothing. I enabled the sh shell in the busybox option in menuconfig in the hope it will work but when I type "sh" after downloading the kernel to the development board it doesnt appear that I am getting the sh shell. Can you tell me how will i get to know that i got the sh shell. Please help .... Thanks in advance -sony
