nios2 gnu sources broken for amd64 linux

Jun 23, 2005 2 Replies

Hello



Does somebody know who is responsible for the GNU sources of the NIOS2 toolchain?



Since nothing was ever put back into mainstream gcc/binutils like uClinux support I assume it is Microtronix?


thx rick


Rick,

Altera maintains the GNU toolchain for Nios II. As for uClinux, I am quite ignorant on the matter (I am not sure if any toolchain changes were required). You might ask in the uClinux area of

Altera *usually* has all these toolchain sources available on public FTP - I noticed your mentioning that they were removed in a separate post so I had a look and it appears that I cannot locate them either (the sources for all prior versions were up there as of a couple of months ago when I last checked). I am assuming this is an oversight and will follow-up to see what happened.

Hi Jesse (o;

1st: thanx for the L> Rick,

Actually I have started checking out current microtronix uclinux and official uclinux distribution to do a merger into official tree since Microtronix uClinux only allows building on Windows.

The last version I saw was called gnupro-3.2...those were only toolchain sources for nios32 as I remember and were based on gcc-2.95.x/binutils-2.10 or lower...

If Altera agrees I could mirror the NIOS2 sources along with MacOSX binaries under uclinux.net (o;
