Hi

In the same system that you actually build the Linux for you board you can add the custom programs to the Linux as a package

Please visit the below link, this tutorial will guide you to create a C program and then compile and add the C program to the Linux that you want to build

http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/portingapps

after the build is completed you can download the Linux on your development board and then execute the C Program that you wrote

You don't need to know all the Linux stuff at the first place, try to learn the basic commands, that will help you a lot

In the "Quartus for Linux" section it's suggested that you install CentOS but i personally install Fedora 14 64-bit

Hi Mahdi,

Thank you very much for your video - it is very helpful.

Could you please explain a little bit about how you created your project in Quartus? In the video you had already created it. Did you base on it on some existing design?

Thanks.

You can watch the below video for creating simple NIOS II application

And apply the MMU setting for booting uClinux in MMU enable mode

All the materials is available in the youtube video description section

lordephaistos-1 (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/member.php?u=55291) thank you for very good instruction.

I have loaded your sof file and zImage to the board. But there is not support of usb, vga, sd card.

Are there ways to make these functions work?
