NEEK Linux Tutorial

Welcome.

Please look at the wiki and there is a user guide.

Cheers,

I'm using Suse with KDE 4 with many dynamic effects enabled and I'm very pleased :). Looks nice and sometimes even is helpful.

I have downloaded neek_web_server_mmu.zip and took the custum_fpga.h from the archive and placed it in:

~/nios2-linux/linux-2.6/arch/nios2/include/asm

with make menuconfig, changed to custom FPGA

ran make

with the resulting linux.initramfs.gz and

cycloneIII_embedded_evaluation_kit_web_server.sof (renamed to neek.sof)

from neek_web_server_mmu.zip I tried the steps below, but the LCD on the NEEK stays blank and nios2-terminal reports nothing

Any ideas?

[NiosII EDS]$ nios2-configure-sof /cygdrive/c/NEEK/neek.sof

Hey,

I was going to post the same thing, I believe you beat me into it.

Can ALTERA guys update Wiki? It seems outdated and irrelevant, people keep on posting on forum when instead it should be cleared in Wiki.

And, have you found the solution? I used standard from CD and web_server, both are same.

I compiled my kernels with steps exactly mentioned in the Wiki, perhaps there are some implicit steps that we beginners are not aware of.

Thanks.

Of course they can, and sometimes they in fact do. But essentially the NIOS WIKI and the "uCLinux-NIOS" build system project are community driven.
