No respone when running uClinux in NiosII SDKshell

hi, http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif

I think the problem is that u use different configuration between .sof & .ptf, they must be the same. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

try these :

open : standar.qpf then open SOPC builder and run NIOS II IDE from SOPC builder, the NIOS II IDE will automatically load the standar.ptf

then followthe quickstart guide to create kernel and file system.

and upload kernel then file system.

finaly use quartus programmer to upload the standard.sof

then go and lunch NIOS II sdk shell

I hope it will work now http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

Hello,

Thank you Mr. Sdhnain, for the immediate response.

I tried that way, you said. Unlike to that, when I ran this Nios II IDE from SOPC builder of Standard.qpf, it didn&#39;t automatically chose that standard.ptf, but instead, explicitly it asked to specify that .ptf file. And I specified " Std_1s10.ptf",

But it didn&#39;t work out. It has shown error, and the vmlinux.bin file has not generated to get it uploaded. So unfortunately, I am back to Square-1.

The error it gave when buiding the kernel:

cygdrive/f/altera/kits/nios2/bin/eclipse/plugins/com.microtronix.nios2linux.kernel_1.4.0/linux-2.6.x/drivers/ide/ide.c: In function `init_hwif_default&#39;:

hi,

why don&#39;t u specify standar.ptf instead of std_1s10.ptf ? http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif

where did find std_1s10.ptf ? http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif

Hello,

I did not find any file like standard.ptf in the package with Nios II.

Instead for every development board [eg. 1c20,1s10,1s40,2s60 etc], there is separate std_board.ptf file, so in that way, it is Std_1S10, and I used this.

When Nios is installed: They are at:

\altera\kits\nios2\examples\verilog\niosII_stratix_1s10\standard\std_1s10.ptf

\altera\kits\nios2\examples\verilog\niosII_stratix_1s40\standard\std_1s40.ptf

..... etc.

Can you please tell me, in architectural point of view, How these ".ptf" and ".sof " files are related?

And if I have my specific ".sof" file for my FPGA Design http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif , how can I know which ".ptf" need to be included, if both of these are to be related.

Hi K V Naresh,

you got to use that .sof

/altera/kits/nios2_50/examples/verilog/niosII_stratix_1s10/linux/linux_time_limited.sof

or

/altera/kits/nios2_50/examples/verilog/niosII_stratix_1s10_ES/linux/linux_time_limited.sof

depending on your board.

hi,

unfortunatily because of the weekend I am at home so I don&#39;t have tools on my PC,

I can answer u monday If GOD wants it when I go to university.

but why don&#39;t u try VHDL examples instead of verilog ones ? me I use vhdl http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

The answer is quiet simple, the nios2linux design doesn&#39;t exist in vhdl, unless you make your own.

In order to work with an FPGA based platform the software developer needs a .sof file, that is used to configure the FPGA device with the processor system, and a matching .ptf file.

And here some extracts:

"Included with the hardware is an Altera Quartus project, as well as an

SOF image file. This project contains the necessary pin-mappings for the

LinuxDev board as well as schematic file with the previously mentioned

components. This project may be modified and recompiled to produce a new

SOF file. The SOF file contains the hardware image of the FPGA, and is

downloaded to the FPGA each time a hardware modification is required. The

EPCS configuration device on board can also store a new hardware image once

the user is satisfied with their new image. "

"The kernel is dependant on the configuration of the NIOS II processor.

For example, if the memory locations of SDRAM have been changed, the kernel

must be aware of this when it’s built. All of the NIOS II parameters are located in

a PTF file, labeled <niosii processor name>.ptf"

That&#39;s obvious, the SOPC Builder generated file (.ptf) is in fact used in part to generate the sof file by Quartus II.

Hi MFM;

I speak about nios2 examples not nios2linux ! http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif
