Wrong information on Nios Wiki

I just did it in this morning.

and I could do that.

I don't know how far you have done.

have you specified ptf file by full path?

Have you tried insert ../ before the path of ptf?

if your .ptf is in the same path of uclinux-dist

make vendor_hwselect SYSPTF=../my_soc.ptf

I spelled out the complete path to the ptf file. It failed everytime.

I installed the previous release, and it works just fine: nios2-linux-20090730.tar

You have to do a "make menuconfig" then select nothing before doing a make vendor for the first time.

Good luck

Also realize that the wiki contradicts itself in at least one place.

http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/installnios2linux (http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/installnios2linux)

refers to both 20090929 and 20090730. I had luck with 20090730.

For your first boot, once you have the toolchain (I used the prebuilt toolchain), then follow the instructions at

http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/uclinuxdist (http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/uclinuxdist).

for me it was:

untar

cd nios2-linux

./checkout

cd uClinux-dist

make menuconfig

select only the "default all options (lose changes)

make vendor_hwselect SYSPTF=/absolute/path/to/.ptf

make

This looks to me that you are not in the right folder. You have to be in the uClinux-dist folder, else this command will be unknown.
