unable to link an executable image

Hi, Lanzones

I finally opted for using and old uClinux distribution (Linux version 2.6.19-uc1 from www.uclinux.org) and using also an old toolchain gcc version 3.4.6. You can get the tool from

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

you can decompress the archive http://www.niosftp.com/pub/gnutools/nios2gcc-20080203.tar.bz2 in any place you wish (i.e /opt/nios2-toolchain)

You have to put in the 'path' the path to binaries in your bashrc file

i.e:

PATH_TOOLCHAIN_NIOS2=/opt/nios2-toolchain/build_nios2/staging_dir/bin/

PATH=$PATH:$PATH_TOOLCHAIN_NIOS2

export PATH

to compile my old version of linux I have to do something like this:

M_ARCH=nios2nommu

M_SYSPTF=$M_DIR_BASE/ptf/NIOS.ptf

# toolchain (builroot)

M_TOOLCHAIN=/opt/nios2-toolchain/build_nios2/staging_dir/bin/nios2-linux-

# hardware assign

make ARCH=${M_ARCH} CROSS_COMPILE=${M_TOOLCHAIN} vendor_hwselect SYSPTF=${M_SYSPTF}

# compile

make ARCH=${M_ARCH} CROSS_COMPILE=${M_TOOLCHAIN}

This is valid for old uClinux dist so you will have to tune for your distribution.

good luck
