Installation problem

Altera_Forum · ‎12-10-2004

Anyone else having problems installing eCos 2.0? The installer insists that I do not have Nios2 1.01 installed. I installed the original 1.0 from CD and the 1.01 from SP1 (downloaded from Altera).

Any ideas?

The installer looks in the install directory inside a file version.ptf for the version of your kit. I suspect your problem is that you're not installing to the directory where your kit is installed

Ok, I should have included my ptf (from c:\altera\kits\nios2) information in my first post:

number = "1.01";

major = "1";

minor = "0";

level = "1";

build = "393b";

type = "patch";

host = "sc-build";

user = "sc-regtest";

date = "2004.09.07";

time = "17.13.10";

The eCos installer wants to install to .\components\ecos. I modified this to c:\altera\kits\nios2\components\ecos (and c:\altera\kits\nios2) and the installer gives me "Error You have either not got the NiosII 1.01 kit installed or the environment variable SOPC_KIT_NIOS2 points to a different version of the Nios II kit. Please install version 1.01 to continue"

My environment variable is set to:

SOPC_KIT_NIOS2=c:\altera\kits\nios2

I will keep poking around.

Ok, if I try a number of times and add a backslash to c:\altera\kits\nios2\ I can get the setup to continue. I will if I can create a build a project.

Ok, I am awake now (after noticing missing words in my previous post). Not quite sure what happened but I uninstalled everything including Quartus. During the reinstall, everything installed without problems.

Thanks all!
