but i want to test large streams .. i need to use the network ..

hippo said that the ftp is quite easy ...

but .. as far as i know .. ftp will download the whole file !!

this is not what i want ..at all http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#emo_dir#>/ohmy.gif

i thought samba shares can be mounted .. and the shared files can be streamed (read) easily .. but .. i felt that the samba in uclinux is not an easy job .. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#emo_dir#>/blink.gif

What about NFS to a linux machine....all you need is a supercheap PC, load Linux, copy your file to it, setup your NIOS board for NFS, and boot. If you already have a Linux PC you&#39;re almost there already.

While I don&#39;t have much NIOS experience, I have done a lot of other Linux development on embedded platforms and have always utilized NFS mounts. This is much easier than creating a flash image everytime something changes and is meant to work as a mounted FS, so it gets around the FTP issue that you noted. SAMBA is similar, but to act as a connection to Windows FS--which throws many more variables into the mix.

Hi tarekeldeeb,

You might want to implement a tftp clien in your application. It&#39;s not very difficult, your app can

control the read requests, and there are plenty of servers you can use on unix and windoze machines.

Hope this helps.
