Honored ContributorThroughput uCLinux
Hi all,
as an intern I am trying to find out which OS is best for a NIOS II Dev kit. I think uCLinux is a good start for me.... But when I use TCP or UDP, what performance can I get for my ethernetconnection. Here they would like more then 60 Mb/s. Is it possible when I use uCLinux as an OS with protocol to accomplish this? Or should I use the UCOS-II which is delivered witch the webserver example, which is very slow if I may say so. Perhaps it's because of the LwIP stack, I don't know.... Could you help me out here to give some benchmarks of the several OS'es. My Board is the: EP2S60F672C5 ES Cheers, Danny2 Replies
Altera_ForumHi, I second this request for throughput information. I am trying to create a commercial application using the NIOS II with the SMSC. I'm thinking of upgrading to the 9118 controller (which has been said to be faster) but I have a 1c20 board I would like to do some testing on. Before I go and spend time working on uCLinux on this board I'd like to at least see some numbers...
Cheers- Altera_Forum
