uCLinux support "Nios II, Cyclone II Edition"

Does uCLinux support "Nios II Development Kit, Cyclone II Edition". Because I am not able to find, an option for it when configuring the uClinux.

First: There is no need for the kernel to support the CycloneII. It needs to support the Nios2 which it does.

But I think I know what your problem is. The microtronix distribution doesn't have a sample hardware-configuration for the CycloneII. You can select a system from the examples provided by Altera in the kits2/nios2/examples directory (Not sure about the exact directory). I used the standard design as a base for my system.

The other place where you can't select the CycloneII is during kernel config. When selecting your platform choose StratixII since that board closely matches the CycloneII devkit.

I use the CycloneII devkit myself and it works perfectly!

I hope this answers your qustion!

edit: Wow I never made this much errors in one single post!
