    I have tested kernel 2.6.16 on a altera 2C35 Nios2 dev board. The jtag uart, epcs mtd, cfi mtd , and smc91111 are working well.

    the build script in build0322.zip has a bug at line# 18, it should be "patch -p1 ~/download/mx140apps.diff" . thanks to hootsmon, who pointed out this issue.

    the new build0327.zip only to fix this.

    CF drive tested with kernel 2.6.16 .

    I have verified 2.6.16 with a modified opencores MAC driver and the usual others. Good stuff!

    I got these 2 errors when compiling the new buildroot...

    Problem 1: 

    /~/buildroot/toolchain_build_nios2/gcc-3.4.6-final/nios2-linux-uclibc/libstdc++-v3/include/ext/rope:939:18: macro "index" requires 2 arguments, but only 1 given

    Problem 2: 

    In file included from /~/buildroot/toolchain_build_nios2/elf2flt/elf2flt.c:52:
/~/buildroot/toolchain_build_nios2/binutils-2.15-build/bfd/bfd.h:38:22: ansidecl.h: No such file or directory

    I was able to workaround both problems, using this patch....

    question: Does anybody else get these errors, or are they due to some quirk of my (Debian) platform?

    Thx in advance

    Ah, I wonder if my problem could be related to using GCC-3.4.6 to build the toolchain?

    I am checking the build again. I wonder there are some updates in buildroot snapshot which break nios2 again.
