No tools in coLinux

Yes, I know that a true linux box would make my life easier... However, my laptops drive is way to small.

I've installed coLinux and built and tested the uClinux-dist on my NiosII Cyclone 1c20 kit.

Unfortunately there does not seem to be and editor I can use and I can't see the root_fs from windows to use my windows editor.

Any help?

    You can install more packages with "emerge", look at the doc of gentoo and colinux.

    You can download blackfin-colinux (from blackfin uclinux wiki site), which is very easy to install. It has most tools you need. It also provides Xserver and stuff ...

    You can then follow the wiki for installing Eclipse as your development platform if you are not confortable on using command text editor.

    Or try using Colonist (http://colonist.sourceforge.net/) with Kubuntu Live image, which include KDE UI and some apps (OpenOffice, text editor ...). I use Xming as X server to display KDE desktop on my Windows desktop. Currently, it works well but is a bit slow.

    Note that during install , Colonist will also create virtual drive for your Windows partitions, so you will be able from KDE to see all your windows drive ;o)

    Configuring Xming X server is a bit tricky (it appears that your firewall must be disabled), but it works.

    Hope it will help you.

    Regards.
