 That seems to be a trouble! http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Hello, 

 F-Secure didn’t find a virus. It is very likely that the file is ok.   Bye, niosIIuser

Hello, 

 VirusScan doesn&#39;t detect a virus on my system. But I observed a strange behavior anyway: when I started &#39;nios2_1_0_sp1.exe&#39; it displayed no dialog and appeared as doing nothing for minutes. However, I noticed that the internet explorer process extensivley utilized the cpu. After killing the internet explorer process the sp1 installation succeeds.  I have another question regarding the sp1: Is it possible to entirely disable (set to zero) icache and dcache for the "fast" (/f) core (I know the &#39;always_bypass_dcache&#39; flag, but I want to get rid of the complete cache stuff since I need high speed and low resource allocation utilizing only onchip memory)?  Thanks, Johannes

No problems updating either Quartus II v4.1 or Nios II here. I&#39;m holding off on installing v4.1 on other machines until SP2 proves out. 

 I&#39;ll let you know how it all looks after I walk-through the Microtronix design for Nios II.

I can&#39;t download the entire file in a single connection session (ISP limitation), and the java servelet seems to prevent IE from restarting the transfer from when it finished. 

 Can someone please post (or email me) a direct HTTP URL to the service pack file?  Regards,  Roddy

When I click on "Nios II IDE" under the  start menu the IDE starts.  Any ideas?  Thanks,  John Kirby

Hello jdkirby, 

 It’s the same behaviour with the stand-alone LWIP from Microtronix. The SP 1 for Nios II should be installed after adding uCLinux (or stand-alone LWIP) to your system.  1. Uninstall your Nios II 1.0.1 2. Install Nios II 1.0 3. Install uCLinux 4. Install SP 1 for Nios 1.0   Bye, niosIIuser

Do you know where can I get Nios II 1.0?

Be careful here. 

 I pruchased a Cyclone eval board and got Quartus II 3.? and NIOS I Then in august I got an update Q II 4.0 and NIOS II 1.0 but an evaluation only version I then downloaded the NIOS II 1.0 full version from the web.  I ended up with NIOS II 1.0 but NO MicroC RTOS support. And perhaps I&#39;m missing other stuf  I evevtually got a CD from the factory. NIOS II Ver 1.0 and it had the MicroC RTOS.

Foolish mortal!  This is the error you get installing Nios II SP1 if you do it Leslie&#39;s way: The directory: c:\altera\kits\nios2 Does not contain the expected Nios II installation(found 1.01). Please select a directory with an installation of Nios II 1.0 to continue.  I assume I will have to uninstall and reinstall Nios II and uClinux at some point.
