Errors Building Redboot for EP2C35 Dev Board

Hello: 

 

I am currently trying to build Redboot for the Cyclone II 2C35 Development Board. Two errors are being reported during the link phase: 

 

1. undefined reference to perror in altera_avalone_lan91c111.inl.  

 

The code is shown below. Does ALTERA_NIOS_DEV_BOARD_CYCLONE_2C35 need to be added to the# if defined list or can I just comment out the reference to perror? 

 

/cygdrive/c/Projects/GenOne/Software/eCos/redboot_install/lib/extras.o(.text.altera_avalon_lan91c111_get_esa_wrapper+0x88): In function `altera_avalon_lan91c111_get_esa_wrapper':

About first problem, 

I have a same problem , It looks likes this eCos configurator supported only few models about below. 

My case was ALTERA_NIOS_DEV_BOARD_STRATIX_2S60_ES board. so I simply add "defined(ALTERA_NIOS_DEV_BOARD_STRATIX_2S60_ES) || \" 

 

#if defined(ALTERA_NIOS_DEV_BOARD_CYCLONE_1C20) ||  

defined(ALTERA_NIOS_DEV_BOARD_STRATIX_1S10) ||  

defined(ALTERA_NIOS_DEV_BOARD_STRATIX_1S10_ES) || \ 

#defined(ALTERA_NIOS_DEV_BOARD_STRATIX_2S60_ES) || \ 

#defined(ALTERA_NIOS_DEV_BOARD_STRATIX_1S40)

aqura: 

 

Thank you for your reply. That is what I thought. However I was reluctant to add the test for the 2C35 board since it was included elsewhere in the code. I will add and rebuild. 

 

As for my second error, from this forum (and others) I have added "[]" to the following statements in main.c to modify the addressing from relative to absolute. 

 

From: extern struct init_tab_entry __RedBoot_INIT_TAB__[], __RedBoot_INIT_TAB_END__; 

 

To: extern struct init_tab_entry __RedBoot_INIT_TAB__[], __RedBoot_INIT_TAB_END__[]; 

 

Thanks again........... 

 

Graham.....

I am also trying to build RedBoot for a Cyclone-II 2C35. 

 

I have had many of the same problems like yours and I have been using the suggested fixes but I just keep getting to some other error. 

 

Did you or anyone else get Redboot to build for the Cyclone-II 2C35? 

 

Thanks.

Hello, 

 

We are in the process of getting the ecos update for Nios II 5.1 ready to go -- this will be addressed in that release.
