Reinhard,

Did you get this working? I am running into similar problems. My project looks like this:

-FPGA

--Board1

--Board2

--Board3

--Board4

--Common

Each Boardx is a separate and unique Nios 2 design. Each Boardx uses files from Common. Another problem is that some of the files in Common include "excalibur.h" (so now they include system.h) and obviously, "exclaibur.h" changes depending on which board I am building. Currently (Nios 1), I have a makefile to accomplish all of this. I was hoping that the management of all this would be easier in the IDE. But, it is a real pain in the butt.

If any of the Altera guys are reading this, isn't there an easy way to do this without having to write more makefiles? How about linked resources? These sound like the correct thing to use but I keep getting "No such file or directory" errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

dave
