Honored Contributorya, that's the busybox I tried building earlier today - I will copy it over to linux just like the kernel tree. So I guess I need to know if I need uclibc also?? ANd when I run make, that make is the host make, not nios2-elf-gcc correct (as in not make ARCH=nios2nommu ...)??

eg, cp -a /dev/console /dev/zero /dev/null .... uc_rootfs/dev
you don't need the jtag device, because it is registered as "/dev/console".
from boot, the kernel mount initramfs as root, execute /init, which is symlink to /sbin/init,
and symlink to busybox, it reads /etc/inittab.
the line in my sample inittab,
::askfirst:/bin/sh
execute the /bin/sh on console, and was symlink to busybox (msh).
freeing unused kernel memory: 272k freed (0x138000 - 0x17b000)
init started: busybox v1.00-pre8 (2005.10.28-01:02+0000) multi-call binary
please press enter to activate this console.
busybox v1.00-pre8 (2005.10.28-01:02+0000) built-in shell (msh)
enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.# ls
bin etc init mnt proc sbin tmp var
dev home lib opt root sys usr#
to build busybox, you can use the altera/kits/nios2/examples/softeware/linux/busybox.
it should the same as marc's. do "zip -r and unzip -a" to convert crlf.
make menuconfig, make, make install.
i was using marc's buildroot. i will check if we have to build uclibc before busybox.
you could also try marc's page.
