uClinux installation

Dear all,

I have problem with installation of uClinux 1.4.

I have done following:

1.installed 61_quartus_free.exe

2.installed 61_ip_windows.exe

3.installed 61_nios2eds_windows.exe

4.installed uClinux1.4

All options were set to default.

I am able to run IDE, start new kernel project but when i try to configure kernel or build kernel I get some errors.

Does anybody has any idea what to do?

Thx for reply

    Hey everyone,

    I also had the same problem with V6.1. So I configured a pc with all V6.0

    software and the configure kernel crashed.

    So I ran the scripts from the microtronix installation directory

    (install_cyg_ext.sh and chmod_usr_dirs.sh) and I set the

    environment variable SOPC_BUILDER_PATH_51 to point to the

    V6.0 nios eds installation directory.

    Now the configure kernel did work in V6.0. Even when updating to V6.0 SP1

    the configure kernel stays working.

    I'll hope this will get you further.

    Regards,

    Digi

    Hi:

    I suggest you to use the flash progeam to download your romfs.

    I guess you use the QuartusII 60 sp1. If you donot use the QuartusII 6.0 sp1 then I cannot help about this problem.

    As I told you before, it be easier to follow the wiki. Many people have their Nios2 uClinux running in a short time with it.
