Nios II Linux v1.4 released

By the way, is the source for the uClibc that microtronix distributes available anywhere? I didn't see it in the zip file.

update: nevermind, I'm an idiot. it's in examples/software/linux/uClibc/

sorry about that.

if you plan to build your own toolchain for uclinux on nios2, you should visit marc leeman's webpage (http://scorpius.homelinux.org/~marc/nios2.html).

if you are intereseted, i can post it here when i am finished.

Well, mail me if you want a binary release, it's basically a tar of the resulting toolchain alien'd with fix-perms (you'll get a deb).

There were quite some changes in buildroot/uclibc and I did not get round to upgrading them again; since our requirements and priorities got changed again :-/

That would be really nice that somebody picks up/improves the work; from the reactions I got without advertising it, quite some ppl are waiting for a decent Linux toolchain.

I understand, that from a commercial point of view you might need a Windows release, but I would never resort to that to get an embedded system working: it would be too much of a compromise and from the results I've seens, it rubs of to the quality of the final embedded system.

Vapier, a developer of busybox/uclibc/buildroot team, has incooporated the patches from marc's into buildroot, http://buildroot.uclibc.org/ (http://buildroot.uclibc.org/)

I added some patches and posted a guide on the forum, http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3174 (http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3174)

Best thanks to marc, vapier and all who help to shape out.

hi!

i&#39;ve just tried to install the downloaded linux. there was an error message:

"Cygwin extension were not installed properly.

Please see README for instruction on how to install them manually"

what does that mean? could not find a hint in README on how to install

them manually.

system : XP, quartus v51, nios v51.

kind regards http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

I have the same problem with you...

And system told me that can&#39;t find "/usr/include"

And will 1.4version be compatible with NiosII IDE5.0,5.1and6.0version?

Anyone help?

AFAIK, the only other Nios Linux distributions that currently is supported can be bought from WindRiver.
