Honored ContributorHi,
I think that almost all voluntary developers and maintainers for Nios2 Linux became extinction. I'm developing my system with the intention of practical use, but maybe their intention is different. Their policy is that "Why am I porting Linux? Because there is a new CPU!". So once they see the "Linux boot message", they will move to the next mine. I'm calling these people "Porting Junky". Also they have a difficult complication that they tend to be attracted toward new versions. Of course, their main concern is to commit themselves to those new things and the completeness (= bug fix) is completely out of their interest. Moreover, it seems that Altera does not think and treat the Nios2 Linux system seriously. So if you want to develop your Nios2 Linux system, you must do it by yourself. --- Quote Start --- 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. --- Quote End --- If you can select another way, I strongly recommend it because ARM Linux system is developed for practical use. Kazu
