hi, when i compile the kernel ,error occurs: na_lcd_16207_0 undeclared How can i fix it thank you wangweike

Do you have an LCD? If not, don't include the LCD driver in the menuconfig.

What is the name of the LCD peripheral? it needs to match what it's called in the driver.

I had to make the following modification to bypass the cache in the driver code in lcd_16207.h: # define ADR_LCD_COMMAND na_lcd_16207_0 + 0x80000000# define ADR_LCD_READY (na_lcd_16207_0 + 0x80000000 + 4)# define ADR_LCD_DATA (na_lcd_16207_0 + 0x80000000 + 8)# define ADR_LCD_READ (na_lcd_16207_0 + 0x80000000 + 12) In lcd_16207.c change# include "linux/lcd_16207.h" to# include "lcd_16207.h" The device name in de SOPC builder "lcd_16207_0"!! If the character driver for the display is loaded in your kernel, and you use the MSH shell which allows redirection from the echo command, you should be able to do something as simple as: switch to the MSH shell: /> msh # echo "Hello World!" > /dev/lcd16207 You will need to have the MSH shell enabled in the kernel and the 'echo' command from busybox.

I think na_lcd_16207_0 is something about address. i am using linux-mmu .do you have any other suggestions?

Oeps little typo on my side!!

The device name in de SOPC builder "na_lcd_16207_0"!! this is wrong!!

change it to lcd_16207_0!!

Regenerate the custom_fpga.h with the new .sopcinfo file (use sopc-create-header-files tool) and recompile linux.

yes ,i know .i have changed it yestoday .still not work

You have changed the custom_fpga.h file?

This evening I build a design with MMU and tried it on my de2 board.

When I compile uclinux for my hardware platform i encounter different problems. First I make a board definition for my de2.

In folder: nios2-linux\linux-2.6\arch\nios2\boards\my_de2

See http://www.nioswiki.com/linux/creating_a_nios_ii_design_with_an_mmu for more information.

I had to change /nios2-linux/linux-2.6/arch/nios2/boards/my_nios2/include/asm/nios.h

I added:

# elif defined(CONFIG_MY_DE2_FPGA)# include <asm/my_nios2_fpga.h>
# define CONFIG_ALTERA_DE2# define DDR2_TOP_BASE  SDRAM_BASE# define DDR2_TOP_SPAN  SDRAM_SPAN# define TIMER_1MS_FREQ SYS_CLK_TIMER_FREQ# define TIMER_1MS_BASE SYS_CLK_TIMER_BASE# define TIMER_1MS_SPAN SYS_CLK_TIMER_SPAN# define TIMER_1MS_IRQ  SYS_CLK_TIMER_IRQ# define EXT_FLASH_BASE CFI_FLASH_BASE# define EXT_FLASH_SPAN CFI_FLASH_SPAN

For example SDRAM_BASE is found in <asm/my_nios2_fpga.h>. The my_nios2_fpga.h is generated with "sopc-create-header-files --single my_nios2_fpga.h"

This basic design with the basic kernel is compiling but when I want to add the lcd_16207 support I get probably the same error.


/data/share/uclinux/nios2-linux/linux-2.6/drivers/char/lcd_16207.c: In function 'lcd16207_module_init':
/data/share/uclinux/nios2-linux/linux-2.6/drivers/char/lcd_16207.c:319: error: 'na_lcd_16207_0' undeclared (first use in this function)
/data/share/uclinux/nios2-linux/linux-2.6/drivers/char/lcd_16207.c:319: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

make: ***  Error 1
make: ***  Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

And then I had the idea of adding "#define na_lcd_16207_0 LCD_16207_0_BASE" to "/nios2-linux/linux-2.6/arch/nios2/boards/my_nios2/include/asm/nios.h"

# elif defined(CONFIG_MY_DE2_FPGA)# include <asm/my_nios2_fpga.h>
# define CONFIG_ALTERA_DE2# define DDR2_TOP_BASE  SDRAM_BASE# define DDR2_TOP_SPAN  SDRAM_SPAN# define TIMER_1MS_FREQ SYS_CLK_TIMER_FREQ# define TIMER_1MS_BASE SYS_CLK_TIMER_BASE# define TIMER_1MS_SPAN SYS_CLK_TIMER_SPAN# define TIMER_1MS_IRQ  SYS_CLK_TIMER_IRQ# define EXT_FLASH_BASE CFI_FLASH_BASE# define EXT_FLASH_SPAN CFI_FLASH_SPAN
#define na_lcd_16207_0 LCD_16207_0_BASE

And the kernel compiled.

But when I download the zImage and start the nios2-terminal no response of the nios.

Hopefully you have better luck! I'm curious if you get it up and running! :)

i finally compiled with neek_ocm_spi_mmu with uclinux+mmu, however, i can only access the uclinux for few minutes before it went hang. anyone know why?
