thanks for that. i figured there would be a compiler/linker option to overcome the problem, but with such a fundamental thing, before fiddling you always wonder if you've done something wrong.

regarding compact flash, i've just tried including support for that and the build fails with an undefined reference to hal_ide_read_uint8. a quick scan of the source reveals that this symbol is not defined in the nios2 hal. :-( not promising.

Steve:

Glad I could help.

FYI....HAL_IDE_READ_UINT8 is contained in the following file

<INSTALL_DIR>/cyg/hal/hal_io.h

Simply# include <cyg/hal/hal_io.h> and you will be off to the races.

I use the Codewright editor ( killed by Borland) and perform a "search multiple" and include subdirectories. I helps to find all occurrences of a particular string.

Also, with the CF component. I have verified that the CF component provided by this forum works. However, recompile within 5.1 causes the component to fail. I am trying to work with our local Altera FAE, but have have no luck to date.
