Why are the NIOS toolchain sources removed from Altera's ftp?

Feb 11, 2005 0 Replies

Any reason Altera removed their NIOS2 GNU gcc/binutils sources from their ftp server?



Before they supplied the login information and path on their website for recompiling the NIOS toolchain (without any documentation of course ;o) and now the direcotries are empty...



Since I only have NIOS2 for Windows platform transferring the sources is:


  1. PITA due to DOS files
  2. tweaking involved for compiling on UNIX hosts since it does't like --target=nios2-elf as under Cygwin environment.
