I want to install ecos with the free evaluation Nios II Embedded Processor Evaluation Tools Version 1.1 

Ecos complains at installation ' You have not got the Nios II 1.01 kit. ' 

Does Ecos only work with older or licensed versions ?

The problem is the same as with the pervious versions of stand-alone lwip. 

 

Take a look at http://www.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?a...t=st&f=17&t=807 (http://www.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?act=st&f=17&t=807) for a solution.

I&#39;m sorry. It seems that this is not the soultion. 

 

But here is a working one: 

 

1. Open “version.ptf” in the root directory of your Nios II installation 

2. Change “number = "1.1" to “number = "1.01" 

3. Save the file 

4. Install eCos 

5. Reverse the changes in “version.ptf” 

6. Save it 

7. Finish 

 

Unfortunately when starting nios2configtool (configtool.exe) Windows shows an error message that there is a problem with the execution.

The bad news is that doing this won&#39;t work. There are a number of changes required to get eCos working with version 1.1 of the kit. However a version of eCos which will work with the 1.1 kit is due to be released soon. Watch this space...

Hello monkeyboy, 

 

Many thanks for this news. I wonder how to uninstall a previous eCos version. Is it ok to overwrite it or do I have to delete the eCos directories by hand? 

 

Bye,

There&#39;s no harm in leaving an old install lying around, but if you want to get rid of it then it&#39;s safe to delete it by hand.

I could install Ecos but the nios2configtool dign&#39;t start, so it didn&#39;t work. 

Today I took the new Ecos &#39;nios2ecos.exe&#39; from 2005/01/27. 

Now I can start the configtool.
