witch FPGA for uclinux ?

Good afternoon,

I'm interesting about Linux on FPGA but I haven't knowledge about this subject.

Can you tell me witch FPGA is adapted for Linux ?

I'm working with Cyclone. Is it sufficient ?

Thanks a lot

Etienne

    If you have a Cyclone, you can try the Nios II Linux distribution which is available from these forums. You'll need to build a hardware design for your Cyclone FPGA that has flash, memory, and a non-fixed period timer. A UART (preferrably JTAG for now) would be useful as well.

    Take a look at the "standard" quartus project for an idea. Linux will compile and run for the "standard" quartus project.
