19 years agoOK guys/gals,
After installing this whole thing again I regained my nios cpu in SOPC builder. I must be sleeping that Friday and did not check the IP/Nios Cpu checkbox during install. Cannot think of any other reason it did not install the first time... http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif But... following successful this time installation I tried to open my older projects which were perfectly fine under version 6.1 I have got another problem here. Nios II EDS version 7 let me open the old workspace 6.1 was using and asked me if I want to convert the files into new data formats. I agreed to the conversion and expected no problems during compilation. I was wrong. Compiler was complaining about some undefined operating system defines/constants - obviously something changed in the Micrium os and it was not converted during move from 6.1 to 7. To get it to compile I had to recreate system library the project uses from scratch. Of course after it compiled it did not work smoothly - some functions have changed their returned values because my code was checking OS_TIMEOUT result, which is now not returned from the ALT_FLAG_PEND() function. Do you guys know any document listing steps one have to go through during the project migration from 6.1 to 7, especially when the project is using uC/OS-II ?
