Hippo,

Can you clarify a bit on what to use for the nios2 please?

I've used both the non-mmu and MMU nios2 for years and want to make sure when I do a new project I have the lastest tools and kernel. I want to be able to do non-mmu AND MMU projects (sometimes you don't need all the mmu stuff).

I tried the rocketboards niosII Linux and I don't see the pata_altera_cf driver that I used to use for my compact flash in branches that are now removed.

I also used a known good *.dts and *.sof from the previous MMU version and I can get a kernel but it doesn't boot. I have a post on that but haven't gotten any responses. And this appears to be only MMU? Or is that now just a function of your *.dts file?

So your statement:

"We will use buildroot and yocto for nios2 rootfs/kernel/toolchain building in the near future" - can you elaborate.

Also, I am getting into the Cyclone 5 and Soc environment tools soon but I'm assuming that's separate from nios2.

I haven't fetched blackfin yet to look at it.

Thanks in Advance
