My anti-virus software reports there is a virus named "Backdoor/IRCServer.392192.Instal" in the Sp1 file.

Oh,Really?

That seems to be a trouble! http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Hello,

F-Secure didn’t find a virus. It is very likely that the file is ok.

Hello,

VirusScan doesn&#39;t detect a virus on my system. But I observed a strange behavior anyway: when I started &#39;nios2_1_0_sp1.exe&#39; it displayed no dialog and appeared as doing nothing for minutes. However, I noticed that the internet explorer process extensivley utilized the cpu. After killing the internet explorer process the sp1 installation succeeds.

I have another question regarding the sp1: Is it possible to entirely disable (set to zero) icache and dcache for the "fast" (/f) core (I know the &#39;always_bypass_dcache&#39; flag, but I want to get rid of the complete cache stuff since I need high speed and low resource allocation utilizing only onchip memory)?

Thanks,

Johannes

No problems updating either Quartus II v4.1 or Nios II here. I&#39;m holding off on installing v4.1 on other machines until SP2 proves out.

I&#39;ll let you know how it all looks after I walk-through the Microtronix design for Nios II.

I can&#39;t download the entire file in a single connection session (ISP limitation), and the java servelet seems to prevent IE from restarting the transfer from when it finished.

Can someone please post (or email me) a direct HTTP URL to the service pack file?

Regards,

Roddy

I&#39;m trying to install uClinux from microtronix but I am getting the following error:

"Could not find Altera Nios II Development Kit on this system. Please install and run this setup again." http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif

I&#39;ve installed the NIos II stuff twice now. It is verson 1.01. When I click on "Nios II IDE" under the

start menu the IDE starts.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

John Kirby

Hello jdkirby,

It’s the same behaviour with the stand-alone LWIP from Microtronix. The SP 1 for Nios II should be installed after adding uCLinux (or stand-alone LWIP) to your system.

1. Uninstall your Nios II 1.0.1

2. Install Nios II 1.0

3. Install uCLinux

4. Install SP 1 for Nios 1.0

Bye,
