19 years agoWhy I can't boot uclinux kernal in NIOSII?
Hello,
I created and build a Linux kernel and filesystem project guided by the file "Linux Quick Start Guide" located in :\altera\kits\nios2_60\documents\linux.Then I secelted tools->flash programmer in IDE,and click the apply-->program flash button to download the executable file:build/vmlinux . After that I download the .sof file into the development board.When it is done,I open Nios II SDK shell and type nios2-terminal in command line. [SOPC Builder]$ nios2-terminal The boot information is as follows: nios2-terminal: connected to hardware target using JTAG UART on cable nios2-terminal: "ByteBlasterII [LPT1]", device 1, instance 0 nios2-terminal: (Use the IDE stop button or Ctrl-C to terminate) Linux version 2.6.11-uc0 (lq1@lq) (gcc version 3.4.1 (Altera Nios II 5.1 b93))# 23 Mon Aug 14 16:36:53 2006 uClinux/Nios II Altera Nios II support © 2004 Microtronix Datacom Ltd.
