- is it possible to use nios2 ide (eclipse + gnu tools...) under colinux (let&#39;s say under kde) ?

- if yes, is it faster than the window version, because eclipse/ide under windows is soo slow (like a turtle as you said) ?

I didn&#39;t use IDE on windows XP or Linux.

And I didn&#39;t try IDE under coLinux, too.

I think IDE (ie, Eclipse CDT) for uClinux will be better in the future, but there is still a long ways to go.

I would prefer working with the simple, old and trusty command line tools. I don&#39;t think GUI tools can give me more productive capability. ( I use Emacs to edit ,compile and version control. It is good. And you may try. )

update, I have tried the quartus 6.0 and nios2 6.0 for Linux workstation on a Whitebox EL4 Linux PC.

the nios2 IDE speed improved a lot. the usbblaster works fine, too.
