tmpfs

I've got tmpfs (formerly shmfs) support compiled into my kernel, but when I boot and do cat /proc/filesystems, it's not listed. Is it possible to use tmpfs on microtronix uClinux on the Nios II?

    Hi clansdown,

    The config option is still in kconfig ... but the tmpfs sources

    (and docs) are not part of uClinux. I haven't dug into the tmpfs

    code in the normal linux distros, so I'm not familiar with the

    implementation ... but it apparently requires MMU support

    So ... sadly ... no tmpfs for Nios-II :-(

    Regards,
