hi fellows,

i know about poor documentation support for uclinux, but can anyone tell me, where is the documentation about which devices are supported by which drivers in uclinux distribution for nios?

please do not tell to go through /linux/drivers directory structure to investigate milion lines of drivers code to find out, what it can be good for http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#emo_dir#>/wink.gif i tried to run uclinux configurator and it seems there are all the things which are supported by general uclinux version, but nobody knows how much of these is ported for nios http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#emo_dir#>/sad.gif

In the past I would do something like this from the top level directoy:

find . -name Makefile -exec grep NIOS {} \;

or

find . -name Konfig -exec grep NIOS grep {} \;

That should give you a good idea about which drivers are supported by NIOS...

There are only limited devices ported to Nios2. You can count with your fingers. (Or at most add your toes.) Some are added by our user group lately.

namely,

MTD: cfi, epcs

NET: dm9000,smc91111,opencore eth,mtip1000

IDE: altcf

USB: isp116x,isp1362

CHAR: uart,watchdog,pio/button,spi

MMC: mmc core

I2C: opencore i2c, ds1307

PCI: altpci

USB and PCI open the door to much more devices.

Check microwindows and nano-X in ~/uClinux-dist-test/user/microwin .

Usually the kernel won&#39;t take care of the display api, except for frame buffer.

Does it means it is possible to run a GUI on NiosII (assuming of course that an VGA controller is instanciated in hardware)?
