20 years agoHi Justin,
> where can I download the u-boot and the nios2-elf-gcc tool. You can get u-boot from two places. The official sources can be found at: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot) The source tree at sourceforge contains the sources for all supported architectures and boards. You can also get the u-boot sources from: http://www.psyent.com/download (http://www.psyent.com/download) The sources at psyent contain only the files necessary to support Nios-II, and a few of the files have minor changes to support an error/warning free build using the standard Nios-II tools under cygwin. The psyent site from time-to-time also has certain updates applied before they are incorporated into the source tree a sourceforge (u-boot patches can take as long as 3 months to be added to the sourceforge tree). As for the nios2-elf-xxx tools ... they're part of the Nios-II development kit. I believe you can download the tools from the Altera website ... but I'm not sure ... never needed to do this.
